Michael Noonan (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

I ask the Tánaiste to deal with this as a matter of urgency. I am sure it is the case in Fianna Fáil, as it is in all other parties, that various units of political organisations are drawing up submissions on boundaries now, on a national basis. On the face of it, it looks as if the submissions to align the local areas to Dáil constituencies relates to the existing constituency boundaries. That is the sense of it but all of that will have changed very quickly, after the submissions have been made.
