Dublin needs a ‘credible’ mayor

DUBLIN needs to elect a credible non-celebrity mayor to drive critical local authority reforms and to eliminate €170 million of waste in expenditure and work practices.

Dublin Chamber of Commerce president Peter Brennan will express this view to Taoiseach Brian Cowen, special guest at the Chamber’s AGM in Dublin later this evening.

Mr Brennan is looking for the Government to stop talking about its proposed new legislation for the Mayor’s office and to bring it in immediately, allowing for Dublin to elect a new Mayor by June of this year.
