Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2012
750. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if under Putting People First there will be in increase in the number of elected councillors in each of the existing Dublin Local Authorities; what that increase will be; and the expected cost and the justification for this decision.

View answerThe proposals in relation to local government arrangements within counties contained in the Action Programme for Effective Local Government will give rise to a review of local electoral areas and associated membership in Dublin. This will be a matter for examination by an independent statutory boundary committee in accordance with relevant criteria to be set out in terms of reference. It is my intention that the Committee will be established shortly.
