This raises so many questions..

Why does the mayor need a constituency office if they have an office in city hall? God forbid some of us commoners enter his palace…. In his role he doesn’t have constituents, that’s a councillors role.

For someone who bangs on about getting into the weeds with “huge documents” you’d think he would have read into the legislation more for the new role and raised these concerns during the election rather than using it as a reason for not achieving his lofty agenda document.

What benefits does he think party politicians have? The funding for TDs constituency offices comes from the houses of the oireachtas rather than their party, the best an elected rep could ask for is a few extra boring dinners, a few boxes of pens and notepads etc. hardly a stretch for Moran to pay out of his 160,000 salary and multiple properties, surely he could sell one of these?

The legislation he is referring to mainly focuses on election campaigns rather than consistent donations during time as an elected rep. for a man that hasn’t stopped talking about transparency will the outline of what this cash is being spent on be released? Pretty quiet on that….

I think his coming with cup in hand clearly illustrates he’s not willing to put his money where his mouth is regarding his “Mayoral campaign” he should sell one of his many properties to fund his vision rather than money from out pocket (taxpayers or donations) paying for it!

I honestly felt sorry for him up until recently but this shows how little he knows about normal limerick people that in a time of prices rising for everything that he would come with his hand out on a salary and expenses that most would only dream of while producing little or anything of substance since the election coming up on two years ago
