Yes, but I want to raise various issues that need to be discussed in that debate. There is no point in asking the Minister to the House specifically on the issue of local authorities. We need to address certain issues within local authorities, such as the fire disaster in Bray. The local authorities are the frontline people. We also have the Civil Defence. The Minister is a reforming Minister and that is the reason I raise the issue. He was also a councillor in Dublin City Council and he understands what is required to reform local government. I ask for that debate.
