Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-12-13
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

We want this to work. I look at this in a positive light. In Part 7 of the Bill we have, in very carefully crafted terms, a provision for the removal or recall of the mayor. A significant amount of work was done with the Attorney General on that. Councillors are very discerning and I have great faith in councillors. I want this to work. That mechanism is available. I hope it will not have to be used but it is provided in the Bill. On the basis of the points made previously, I will not be accepting these amendments.
