Cost and Issues Arising from Deputy Mayors in Local Government
March 9, 2025
The reform of Local Government is causing serious problems and added costs for taxpayers, with political parties appearing to bear the blame. The 93 deputy mayors cost €2.6 million annually, yet many do not have defined responsibilities. It is clear that ministers had warned before implementation, but appropriate measures were not taken. The issue is becoming more pressing as it affects citizens' daily lives and finances.
