Port chairman: Directly elected mayor must have real power


The Government has committed to holding a vote on directly-elected mayors in Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford next year. Mr Mullins, who has also served as a CEO of Bord Gáis and president of Cork Chamber, said it is too soon to think about running but added: “I feel strongly about it, I have been president of Cork Chamber, I have been involved in infrastructure projects and Páirc Uí Chaoimh and you do need that type of leadership, particularly when the city is growing as it is set to.”
