I do not want to take away from the contribution made by county councillors who are not Members of the Oireachtas. The councillor – the person in question is not a member of my party – who said this to me is not a Member, nor has he any ambitions to be. He sees, however, that the strongest voices on the local authority are those of the Members of the Oireachtas. When they are removed, the voice of the local authority will be weaker, especially when it comes to taking on the manager. My concerns are made greater by the fact that this is happening against the background of a reduction in power for the elected member.
