Question:137 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment when he expects to introduce general local government legislation.
Written Answers. - Local Government Legislation.
Legislation to establish three new county councils in Dublin will be introduced later this year so as to enable the councils to be established on 1 January, 1994. Work is also underway on the preparation of a Bill to modernise local government law generally and I hope that it will be possible to introduce this in the autumn.
