Ahead of the Local and European Elections in May, Andrea Gilligan was joined by a panel of experts to look at the role of local Government in Ireland. She asked if councillors should be given more powers and responsibilities, and higher wages.
On the panel:
Dr. Eoin O'Malley, Director of the Masters in Public Policy in the School of Law and Government at DCU
Grace Tallon, Labour Councillor for Dun Laoghaire Rathdown and co founder of '& Co.'
Bobby O’Connell, Kerry Councillor and General Secretary of LAMA
