I want to add the proviso that if a person wishes to qualify for the position of cathaoirleach, he or she should have served five years as an elected representative. There is a fear that directly elected chairpersons might not be experienced and it has been a matter of contention. There is no better training ground for taking on a position in local government than the local authority. There is a fear that whizz kids or personalities might spend a lot of money to buy their way into office. That would put good candidates at a huge disadvantage. The amendment attempts to deal with the whizz kids or mavericks who might come from working on a television show, or elsewhere, to take over a local authority.
