Why are we seeing the return of town councils?
About this episode
The episode discusses the return of town councils in a new form as municipal councils and features insights from expert Derek Mooney.
Twelve years after Phil Hogan abolished town councils, they are set to return in a more modest form as municipal councils. An expert group has recommended creating these new local councils across all 31 local authorities, including in cities. Joining Ciara to discuss this is Derek Mooney, Public Affairs and Communications Advisor and former Fianna Fail Strategist.
