Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Will the Taoiseach tell the House whether reports in today's newspapers that the Cabinet yesterday considered and gave approval to the recommendations of the commission dealing with the boundaries of Dáil constituencies for general elections are accurate and that there will be no change in what is proposed within the remit of that commission? Some time ago, before the Taoiseach was confirmed in his new office, he said he had given south Offaly a declaration. Is it true, as reported in the newspapers, that he has accepted the commission's recommendations as they are?
