Under the local government Act, the Minister has directed county council chief executive officers that no nominations will take place this week at their annual general meetings regarding Leader and local development companies.

Hold on a second. This is about promised legislation.

This is promised legislation. It is on the legislation but the local development companies have been left in limbo.

What promised legislation is the Deputy talking about? He should not be abusing the Order of Business.

I am talking about the Local Government Reform Act 2014.

What has that got to do with county managers?

The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, has written to county managers telling them not to fill nominations to local development boards this week.

That cannot be raised on the Order of Business.

Is the Minister so disappointed with the loss of Fine Gael seats in the recent local elections?

I call Deputy Healy-Rae. I will not call Deputy Mattie McGrath in future if he goes on like this.

This is relevant.

What local government legislation are you talking about?

The 2014 Act.

That is passed.

I know it is passed but this is relevant to it.

I call Deputy Healy-Rae.
