Four municipal districts instead of local councils

So, the local authority budget was passed by the city council in Cork finally and the council saved from abolition. The theatrics that went on beforehand were just a charade. 

But the councillors saved their jobs. Hollywood should hire these guys and make them stars.

The council should be abolished: it costs too much for these people to talk through the behinds.Regional councils would do. A council for Munster, Leinster, Connaught/Ulster and a fourth for Dublin. No manager. Just elect a mayor to do the administration end of a council’s business. We may then see democracy at work, and that would be something new in Ireland.
