asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that, although he stated that he was advised that the Dublin Corporation had no power to elect a lord mayor on the 26th June for the ensuring year, no action has so far been taken by the corporation to alter their statutory regulations regarding this election; and, if so, whether he proposes taking any action in the matter by order or otherwise.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Election of Lord Mayor.
The law relating to the date of the mayoral election in the present year is not affected by the standing orders of the Dublin City Council. I should like to point out that I have taken no action in this matter except to state, at the Deputy's request, what I was advised to be the law and I do not consider myself required to take any action in the matter.
