I have newspaper articles about how the Minister wishes to strengthen local government. It is a long time since Liam Kavanagh, as Minister for the Environment, published a document on local government reform. We have not advanced very far in the interim. In many instances, I have seen a reduction in the role of councillors. If their role is to be meaningful and the Minister is to pay them full-time salaries – a matter to which he has alluded – he will probably have to give them enhanced powers. Perhaps he will work in this direction.
