College Green & lack of planning

Dear Editor,
Ruraidh Conlon Kelly (letters 18th August) is of course right. A directly elected Mayor within a functioning Local Government system could deliver a better City Transport system and the College Green Plaza in a more efficient and timely fashion. Unfortunately a combination of Phil Hogan, former Local Government reform advocates and the anti Local Government Officials in the Custom House put paid to that. I believe Colombia introduced some really innovative legislation for this level of governance.
Yours sincerely,
Councillor Dermot Lacey
