Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

It is very hard to bring something back that has been abolished but we should not rule it out. As Deputy McGrath knows, there was a compromise eventually in the form of the municipal groups that have been established. They have begun to assert themselves in respect of a district but it is not the same thing in terms of a town. I also believe in democracy and I believe that people should have the right to elect people to manage and plan the future of their town in a visionary way.
