Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-14
============================================================

John Cummins (FG), Labour Panel

I will be interested to hear the Minister of State's comments. From my reading of the legislation I consider there is nothing precluding what is being looked for here in the legislation and that is the important piece. Is there something precluding it? No. Therefore the local authority will be able to engage with the European Union with regard t all of those funding streams that are appropriate to municipalities. That is a good thing and I am sure the mayor of Limerick, when he or she is in position, will avail of the vast array of opportunities that are in place. I am satisfied there is nothing precluding what is being looked for here, in the Bill.
