875. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if the Chains belonging to current Mayors and Cathaoirleachs of current Town Councils, that generally rotate on an annual basis, will continue to operate and be recognised under the new municipal authority system or area council, being introduced as part of the local Government reform; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The chains of office for Cathaoirligh currently in use in the local government system, including those in use in towns, will remain available for ceremonial use.
Assets of town councils will transfer to the relevant county council or city and county council , and the future use of chains of office will be a matter for decision by these councils in the first instance
