Legislation outlines roles and responsibilities for Limerick's new directly elected mayor
Local Government junior minister Kieran O'Donnell said: “This is a key milestone on the way to having the first directly elected mayor in Ireland and is one the most significant reforms of local government since the foundation of our State, with Limerick leading the way.”
The mayor of Limerick will be elected on the same day as the local and European elections next year, five years after the people of the county voted in favour of the position being created.
The Government has on Tuesday finally published the legislation around the directly elected mayor of Limerick which sets out the roles and responsibilities of the new mayor.
