Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

We accept due custom and practice and that the law must apply regarding the redrawing of constituencies. Will the Minister charge the constituencies review commission with examining the massive changes in local government boundaries which have occurred and are already obvious in the census, with the intention of a review of those boundaries? Will the commission review the crisis in some local government areas where city boundaries overlap with other county boundaries and there is not a consensus for future action?
