Government to review legislation around Limerick mayoral role this year, says Taoiseach

John Moran said 'we can do a lot of work ourselves now to actually prepare for' the review

Earlier this week John Moran accused the Government of 'washing its hands' of the issue.

The Taoiseach has said there will be a review into the directly-elected mayor legislation “before the end of the year” after Limerick's office holder John Moran accused the Government of “washing its hands” of the issue.

Speaking to media in Limerick, Micheál Martin said the direct mandate for the mayor was a “major departure” in terms of local governance.
