Question 392: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his views on a Limerick city boundary extension; if his attention has been drawn to the concern being expressed by Limerick County Council against any further extension of the city boundary; his views on whether the development of the Dublin region has been negatively impacted by the existence of Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council and Dún Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Issues in relation to boundaries and local governance generally (including in Limerick) will be addressed in the forthcoming White Paper on local government. With regard to the development of the Dublin region, I consider that Dublin would benefit from the political leadership of a directly elected mayor, as set out in the Programme for Government, to provide strengthened leadership, effective strategic planning and democratic and accountable decision-making. This issue will also be addressed in detail in the White Paper.
