- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
Kieran O'Donnell: The VAT cashflow issue can be probably overcome with a change in legislation and excise duty will be charged in the normal way. Tariffs are a fixed cost and cannot be reclaimed. What additional tariffs would be collected by Ireland on imports from the UK?

Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome Mr. Horan and his wife and family. I acknowledge the presence of the chairman of the Limerick County Board, former Deputy John Cregan, and Mattie Ryan, a former colleague of mine on the Mid-West Regional Authority. Many institutions in the State, including the church, have fallen. The GAA is now effectively taking up that leadership role for young people across the country. Up...
- Seanad: Directly Elected Mayors: Statements (29 Jan 2019)
Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Phelan, who has put a considerable amount of work into this issue. I want to get into the substantive issue. This is very much democracy at work. The people of Limerick and in the other cities will decide for themselves if they want to have a directly elected mayor. It is critical that what is put to the people is something they believe is valid and...
- Seanad: Directly Elected Mayors: Statements (29 Jan 2019)
Kieran O'Donnell: I am sorry. Will the mayor be a member of Limerick City and County Council?
- Seanad: Directly Elected Mayors: Statements (29 Jan 2019)
Kieran O'Donnell: The membership will increase to 41. Will the mayor have a vote to play? Will he or she have the same standing in votes as other members in the chamber? These are all matters where the devil will be in the detail. The Minister of State spoke about a recall mechanism. It will have to be clearly defined and understood by the public. In my experience, unless members of the public...

It is very important that the people of Limerick have a directly elected mayor but, as the public will not take the decision lightly, the roles of the new mayor and CEO must be clear and unambiguous, as must be the new powers the new mayor will have. The proposals must be rolled out to the public in a way that is separate from the local authority in order that people...
