It has gone on for too long. There have been too many promises. We are told there is a report sitting somewhere. No one seems to know where. We have a commitment that the Minister of State with responsibility for local government will appear before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government next week to address the issue. I hope he will come here beforehand. The elected city and county councillors vote for us. We all made commitments. It is time we delivered on those commitments to these representatives who are practitioners of local democracy-----
