Monday 31 March 2014 16.07 The proposal for a public vote on a directly-elected Mayor for Dublin looks likely to be defeated according to a number of councillors going into a meeting of Fingal County Council.
Councillors in Fingal, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and South Dublin are voting on whether to allow the issue to go for a public vote.
Last week councillors in Dublin City voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing a plebiscite on idea of a directly elected mayor to be held on the same day as the European and Local elections.
Today is the turn of councils based in Tallaght, Dun Laoghaire and Swords.
It looks as if Dublin South and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown will vote in favour.
There is still a lot of resistance in Fingal despite some shift in opinion and the outcome is not clear.
Some Fingal councillors fear a loss of power could result from having a mayor with strong executive powers while others feel there should be more local government reform first.
Either way today is the legal deadline and if one council votes against it then there will not be plebiscite on 23 May.
The Dublin Chamber of Commerce which has been campaigning for a mayor for Dublin says if this opportunity is lost there will not be another for decades.
Dublin South and Fingal councils are meeting now while Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown will meet at 8pm.
