Harbours (Amendment) Bill 2008: Report and Final Stages
12:00 pm
Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)
I second the amendment. As Senator McCarthy said, this point was discussed at great length on Committee Stage. My party and colleagues made points to this effect on Committee Stage. As the Senator said, to put in place provisions in legislation such as this providing for such a change when the holding of local elections is rapidly approaching hugely diminishes the role and influence of people who seek to serve their local communities.
