Further local government reform questions
Dessie Ellis again asks when the local government reform Bill will be introduced and raises related concerns about housing allocations and ministerial conduct. The Chair rules out the additional matters, and the Taoiseach says the Bill is due next year, with its heads not yet before Government.
Will the Taoiseach outline when the local government reform Bill will be brought before the House and what progress has been made on it because he did not answer the question? Will the allocation on housing continue to be an executive function? Will the Taoiseach consult the Minister, Deputy Phil Hogan, about his reference to and representations for a family?
Comment on this
It is a disgrace that any Minister would name and write to constituents about a particular family.
Comment on this
Will the Deputy, please, resume his seat? I call on the Taoiseach to reply to the question on the local government reform Bill.
