Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

Will the issue of the inordinate delay in the holding of the Donegal by-election that was adjudicated on today be discussed at this evening's Cabinet meeting? The other constituencies where there are vacancies must give rise to that type of scenario as well. The Cabinet should make a decision to hold the other two by-elections at the same time. Ideally, the three should be held. It is almost a year since the Deputy for the Dublin South constituency resigned his seat.
