MAYOR OF DUBLIN: GREEN PARTY TD for Dublin Mid-West Paul Gogarty has expressed an interest in becoming a directly-elected mayor of Dublin. He said the mayor would oversee a budget of €1.5 billion.
Mr Gogarty launched a three-month consultation process to encourage members of the public to contribute ideas about the position which he said could be integrated into legislation.
Asked if he was interested in contesting the election, Mr Gogarty said: “Yes I would be interested.” He said the Greens would hold a selection convention in July. “I certainly wouldn’t be adverse to a candidate with good credentials putting their name forward. If that’s me, well and good.”
