We need to radically change every system that has enabled the wholesale destruction of the Irish landscape, rural and urban. There is no time for incremental step by step measures. The systems have failed utterly and the only hope for a real recovery requires the rule book to be torn up completely.
What is the Lord Mayor's job other than cutting ribbons and appearing in that golden carriage at the Paddy's day parade?

If I had may way, I'd abolish all the lord mayors and county councils in favour of 9, maybe 10 streamlined regional authorities, each with an average population of .5 million people and a directly elected Mayor/Governer, what ever you want to call it.
Each regional authority would have power over planning, transport, water and waste. One off housing would be effectively banned in rural areas except in exeptional circumstances. See this thread:
