I am nominated for the Seanad by the Association of Municipal Authorities of Ireland. There are a number of municipal authorities which serve bigger populations than some of our county councils. They are not county borough councils; some are town councils. Will the Minister ensure that they are given a more relevant role than they have at present? Apart from the five borough councils, towns like Bray, with a population of 30,000, Tralee, Ennis, Mullingar, Athlone and others have a definitive role to play in local government, and this must be recognised.
