The Dublin city manager must play a key role in the authority's advisory council. To even up representation of the other local authorities in the greater Dublin area, it is proposed to have two of the other six county managers sitting on the advisory council. The composition of the advisory council as it stands provides adequate and appropriate representation for both local authority managers and members. Accordingly, I will not accept the amendment.
