Abstract:
I propose to put to you two main arguments that it is in the national
interest at last to take seriously the Irish local government system. The
first means taking a backward look to try to arrive at some quantitative
and qualitative idea of the present state of that system as compared with
some European norms. The second is to attempt a forward look, given the
likely implications of the fact that, in the Taoiseach's words in the latest
Programme for Economic and Social Progress, "we have fundamentally
changed our approach to managing our affairs".
