I move recommendation No. 10:
In page 242, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following:
"Report on taxation and expenditure competence
103. The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas outlining the potential for the transfer of certain taxation and expenditure competences from the Government to local authorities and the potential implications for such a transfer in respect of the delivery of public services, the
responsiveness of taxation policy to geographic-specific contexts and the potential benefit in respect of strengthening local democracy and community wellbeing.".
