146. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government in view of the fact that persons voted in favour of retaining Seanad Éireann whether he will consider giving the persons the right to have a say in whether town councils should be abolished; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42926/13]
View answerI refer to the reply to Question No. 937 of 18 September 2013. The Action Programme for Effective Local Government sets out Government decisions for a range of local government reform measures, including the establishment of modern sub-county structures that will provide a robust mechanism for connection between local government and communities, with enhanced democratic accountability and operational efficiency. There are no proposals in relation to the matter referred to in the question.
