In Donegal, we have been able to call our first citizen of the county "mayor" instead of the traditional titles of "cathaoirleach", "leas-cathaoirleach", "chairman" or "vice chairman". Members of every council in the country should be allowed to call the cathaoirleach or chairperson "mayor". This gives more meaning to the role given that it concerns the first citizen of each city or county. It would impose no additional cost on the Exchequer. It makes absolute sense and the Minister should consider it given the important role being played by the first citizen of each county or city.
