Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-20
============================================================

Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

The legislation does not scratch the surface of the local government reform that is so badly needed. It is completely unambitious and does not go far enough in addressing major issues with our local authorities. It is for this reason that I think this legislation will fail and I cannot support it. I believe that it will ultimately set back the reform of local authority. It will also mean that the people of Limerick will wonder is this form of mayor what they voted for.
