Local Government Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

Value for money was referred to. I do not get paid a salary for my council work but that work accounts for 90% of what I do politically. While I do not want to be paid, I want to provide a voice for the people in my area. Considering those who are standing down, it will cost €1.4 million extra to fund the county councillors who will step into my place. It is not about money. While I have heard we will get compensation, I do not want it.
