Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I thank Deputy Flanagan for putting out item No. 1 on his A list to the Taoiseach for resolution of constituency problems. On a serious note, I will have the matter examined and see whether there are plans to consolidate. I cannot answer the Deputy at the moment but this is an issue in which we will have a joint interest and we will try to find a joint solution.
