If the citizens of Donegal were told that power was being taken away from the members of the local authority, it would do nothing to instil in them confidence about the democratic process. We have a devolved government at local level. Donegal County Council has opened up four decentralised district offices. It is amazing what is happening in Donegal because people no longer rely on their councillors. They do not need to ring up the councillor or Deputy asking to be sent a form for a DPG or ERG grant, they can actually walk into a civic office and request what they need. They are now in a position to say, "Hold on a minute, I am entitled to this. This is my democratic right. I do not need the services of a Deputy or county councillor."
