Local Government Reform (Amendment) (Directly Elected Mayor of Dublin) Bill 2016

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

A public bill from John Lahart that would set up a public vote on whether Dublin should get a directly elected mayor. If voters approve, the Minister would then bring forward the detailed rules, including the mayor’s powers, responsibilities, and how the election would run, with those plans first needing approval by the Oireachtas. It matters because it could change how Dublin is led and give city voters a direct say in creating a new local office.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to enable the holding of a plebiscite for the election of a directly elected mayor of Dublin and to provide for related matters
