FIGURES FOR COUNCILLORS' ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS

There is more to the job of a councillor than attendance at meetings but nonetheless the figures are interesting.  I attach figures showing attendance at meetings up in 2011 up to the start of December.  At that stage I had attended a respectable 88% of meetings which put me in 2nd place in the Stillorgan Ward, and in the top half of councillors overall in terms of percentage attended.   I was in joint 6th place in the Council overall in terms of actual number of meetings attended.
