Local Government Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2018)

Noel Grealish: I wish to share time with Deputy Michael Collins. I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill, which provides significant detail on the proposed extension of the Cork City Council boundary but only refers to the appointment of a new chief executive for Galway city and county in Part 5, under the "Miscellaneous" heading. That is disingenuous and very disrespectful to...

Local Government Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2018)

Noel Grealish: I am not part of the alliance. Galway deserves better than this. Galway is a medieval city, with the first mayor appointed back in 1485, Mr. Peirce Lynch.

A mayor is one of the most important positions that a city can have and the mayoral...

Noel Grealish: It was an article carried by the papers. I do not know if the Chief of Staff wants to make any comment on that. I knew Lieutenant Colonel Mary Carroll. She was in Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa.

I also asked about staff who had to remain in service for five years. I do not think I got a reply to that. What control has Dr. Mellett over the budget? If equipment...
