Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

That is the problem. The problem has been that in the past, local election boundaries have been kept under wraps until the very last moment. A committee has been established to deal with this. It is a new procedure under the Local Government Act 2001. I am asking for an assurance that when the report is received by the Minister, it will be published and made available straightaway. There is a deadline for the submission of the report, which is 20 June, so it will be in this session of the Dáil. I am asking the Taoiseach for an assurance that it will be published straightaway.
