I thank the Cathaoirleach and wish him the best in his new post. I know Senator Wilson was on an all-party committee that carried out much good, stable and common-sense work on councillors' terms and conditions. Given my seven years experience on a county council and five years on a town council, I know that there has been an immense increase in the workload of county councillors. This House needs to examine this issue and I would appreciate if the relevant Minister could attend for a debate on it.
