Local government funding amendment
The Chair proposed Senator Humphreys’s amendment for a debate with the Minister on local government funding, but Senator Humphreys withdrew it while leaving open the option of resubmitting it later.
Senator Humphreys has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government on the funding of local government be taken today." Is this amendment being pressed?
Comment on this
To co-operate with the Leader in regard to the business of the House, I am going to withdraw the amendment. However, I will possibly reinstate that amendment at a later stage, depending on when the vote takes place in Dublin City Council.
