Former Lord Mayor: Govt must clarify proposals for directly-elected mayors

The Government must urgently clarify its proposals for directly-elected mayors in Cork, Limerick and Waterford before people are asked to vote on this issue in May.

Former Lord Mayor of Cork, Fine Gael Cllr Des Cahill, said with less than 80 days until plebiscites in these areas determine if people want a directly-elected mayor, voters still don’t know what kind of powers the new role will have.
