Local Government Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I know of few councillors who are not Oireachtas Members who oppose the legislation. I do not imagine the Custom House has been inundated by resolutions from county councils opposing the abolition of the dual mandate. There is no doubt that, to a certain extent, Oireachtas Members cramp the style of people who are only councillors and who want to remain so on a full-time basis. This most obviously happens when meetings are held on Mondays and Fridays. It might be possible to spread the work more evenly across the week if that was no longer a consideration.
