Local Government Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
We do not have a presidential type system of government here, either locally or nationally. The cathaoirleach or the mayor should emerge from the collective will of the democratically elected groupings, as the Taoiseach does in the context of Government. Unlike America and other countries, we do not have a presidential system separate from the government system. We should have one or the other. The way we have it is the right way to go.
