We have an opportunity to give local government an opportunity to be an established entity in its own right. Let us think about the county councillors who elected 43 Senators to this House and who are discommoded on a weekly basis because they must hold meetings on days suitable to us, regardless of whether they are suitable to them. It is good enough for us, if we fail to be elected to the Dáil, to canvass them for their vote in order to gain election to the Upper House. However, it is not good enough for them to hold meetings on days that suit them. It is time we complimented our electorate – county and county borough councillors and the other local authority members who nominate some of us – because they are the people about whom I am concerned.
