Local Government Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
I have a problem with the whole section. There is a presumption of constitutionality in everything we do and I have a real difficulty with the legislation from that point of view. My personal view is that it is good that the roles are complementary. I can appreciate that some people have a different point of view. It should be dealt with on a party political basis and perhaps on a mutual party political basis. The Minister has not referred to my other proposal because I have not put it forward as an amendment but I am flagging that I may consider changing the date the next time.
