A person cannot be a member of a city and town council, yet he or she can be a member of a county and town council. I do not see the reason that provision is in place because they are two forms and levels of local government. Why should somebody be allowed to be a county and town councillor but not a city councillor? The logistics are that the person must not be living in one of the areas but we are all aware of politicians who hold seats at various levels, including the Oireachtas, and do not necessarily live in the area they represent. The Minister is making a judgment. That is the only reasoning I can see behind this provision which is an anomaly in the legislation.
