Letter to the editor: The courage to govern
The Editor,
Letters Page,
The Irish Times.
Dear Editor,
I welcome the article from Stephen Collins ( 9th October ) lauding the Government for their decision “to take back control from unelected public officials”. I look forward to future articles in The Irish Times supporting the transfer of powers from Chief Executives of Local Councils, An Bord Pleanala, the National Transport Authority, Boards of all three CIE Companies and the myriad of other totally unaccountable agencies and Public Officials who now exercise more power and authority than any combination of elected Representatives. Other countries would call it democracy.
Yours sincerely,
Councillor Dermot Lacey
