Why are we seeing the return of town councils?
from The Hard Shoulder

An expert group has recommended creating these new local councils across all 31 local authorities, including in cities. Joining Ciara to discuss this is Derek Mooney, Public Affairs and Communications Advisor and former Fianna Fail Strategist.
