Either personally, or through my officials, I have consulted the following organisations:—

The County and City Managers' Association.
The Irish Local Government Officials Union.
The Irish Conference of Professional and Service Associations.

In response to requests, I have informed the Incorporated Law Society and the Federation of Professional Associations that my officials will be prepared to discuss the proposals with them.
