Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
I will make a submission, but the listing of addresses of candidates on ballot papers is something I would like to see dealt with. I do not know whether we will be able to do it in time for the local and European elections, but it is a vexed question. There could at least be guidance provided to candidates applying on what they can put down.
A little further on, because it probably will not be for the forthcoming election, is the issue of six-seater constituencies.
I would love to know if the members of the Electoral Commission sat around and said to each other that if only six-seater constituencies had been permissible, it would have been possible to get the boundary changes done much faster or in a less disruptive kind of way.
