Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 January 2012
551 Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his plans in regard to the future of the three town councils in County Kerry, Killarney, Tralee, Listowel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41468/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am adopting a progressive approach to local government structural reform. Decisions have already been taken to merge authorities in Limerick and Tipperary and a statutory Local Government Committee is examining whether Waterford City and County Councils should be unified. I intend to bring wider policy proposals to Government shortly with particular attention being given to local government structures at regional, county and sub-county levels. Decisions in relation to municipal governance within counties will be a matter for Government in that context.
