Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-21
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

It is proposed to amend section 31 (4) regarding the mayoral programme. The mayor must present a draft of their mayoral programme for consideration by elected members of the council meeting. As drafted, the members would have to receive a copy of the draft seven days before the meeting, but the amendment will extend that period to 14 days. The Civil Engagement Group proposed a similar amendment on Committee Stage and I said I would reflect on that and come back to it on Report Stage. I have done so and believe a longer period for elected members to consider progress is appropriate. I trust Senators can support the amendment.
