‹ Order of Business Increase in Dublin councillors
Summary
Barry Cowen asks whether forthcoming local-government legislation will increase Dublin’s councillor numbers; the Tánaiste says the local-government reform Bill is expected this session.
When will the Government bring forward legislation to give effect to its intention to increase the number of councillors in Dublin by upwards of 60 or more?
Comment on this
The Government is carrying out the most fundamental reform of local government since the late 19th century. That reform of local government is long overdue. The legislation to give effect to that is expected to be published this session.

Does that include the huge increase in Dublin?
