I have a question on the Order of Business concerning the proposed election for a mayor of Dublin. What is the position? I am glad that the Leader and the deputy leader are here today because the deputy leader told this House on 19 May that the Cabinet had agreed to hold an election in 2010 and that the legislation would be before this House by the end of this session. Two weeks remain until the end of this session and that legislation has not come before us. I asked the Leader on 19 May to confirm the situation and I ask him again today what is the position regarding the Dublin mayoral election? Is this a case of the tail wagging the dog, given that Senator Boyle has promised this legislation which we have yet to see? I want to know what the Leader will do about this?
