Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion

Mr. Barry Ryan:

I do not disagree with any of that. The Minister was on record, mainly as the Bill was going through the Houses, as saying he would ask the commission to look at a range of issues. As Mr. O'Leary said, that is what he did during the summer and they are the issues set out in the programme for Government, beyond the commitment to establish an electoral commission already realised by the Electoral Reform Act. They are all there in the draft programme and as Mr. O'Leary said it is a matter for the commission to prioritise that after January.
