Written answers

My Department had ongoing engagement, both formal and informal, with the Association of Municipal Authorities of Ireland (AMAI) relating to the implementation of the Action Programme for Effective Local Government and the drafting of the Local Government Reform Bill 2013. The information sought is not readily collated and the collation of all the documentation as requested would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work.

The affairs of, and the winding up of, the AMAI are matters for the Association.
