Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

John Paul Phelan: That is the formal process. As the Deputy knows, the Part 8 process can take a while. Rather than getting the city council to start the ball rolling from scratch again, the county council will complete the formal legal process and it is then part of the transfer for the city council to implement whatever the Part 8 is. Amendment No. 100 takes account, at least partially, of the point the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

John Paul Phelan: On the basis of accounting logic, they are. I understand the point the Deputy is making. He is saying that it is not a large number of housing loans. However, we want to make a clean break and it would be very messy if these remained with the county council even though they are in the area that is being transferred to the city. I do not dispute that it may take up extra man hours and we...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

John Paul Phelan: I do not think I can take it on board, to be honest. I do not like saying "No"; I suppose I am a real politician. The main purpose of all of these sections of the Bill is to expand Cork city. It would not be consistent with that purpose to allow these to remain with the county council even though they will be physically in the city in the future. It is cleaner that way. I cannot accept...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

John Paul Phelan: I understand. I come from a little place with a population of 2,000 people on the Wexford-Kilkenny border called Tullogher Rosbercon, and the commission decided to separate Rosbercon from Tullogher. How it came about I do not know; it has never happened before. My own neighbours are contacting me continuously. The Deputy is correct that I am the person who will sign the statutory...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

John Paul Phelan: Unfortunately, I cannot clarify that. The task was given to the implementation group to look at the maps and delineate between the areas which would be in the city in the future and the areas that would remain in the county. Undoubtedly there was surprise when the maps were produced. We are all politicians here, and we know that when boundary maps are produced, usually for electoral...
