Local Government Reform Bill 2013

Public bill · Government · Presented

Restructures local government by merging councils in Limerick, Waterford and Tipperary, replacing town councils with municipal districts, and giving elected councillors greater control over policy and oversight. It also creates chief executives, community-development committees and stronger national and regional oversight, expands local economic-development responsibilities, and allows Dublin voters to consider a directly elected mayor.
