Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Senator could attend as a fraternal delegate.

Senator O'Toole mentioned the proposed changes to legislation dealing with directly elected mayors, a provision about which I am enthusiastic. People have their own views on such matters and it appears that the idea is to be forgotten. Senator O'Toole is in favour of the direct election of mayors, but others have alternative ideas. I believe the matter will be discussed later today.
