I compliment Senator Denis Landy on ensuring the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, extended the deadline for the return of the questionnaire submitted to councillors on local government reform, something his colleague could not achieve. It would not make a difference, however, if he was to extend the deadline for another month. The proposals are already in place and about to be published by the Minister.
