-----and canvassing for the people in south Mayo. This demonstrates the independence of this commission and I am very happy to stand over it. It is consistent with long-established precedent with which Deputy Ó Cuív is familiar as he was the Minister when all these matters were agreed, in line with that precedent and in line with all his actions. It is quite hypocritical of him to try to bang the drum now about naming a constituency when he did not do it himself when he was a Minister. I will not accept the amendment.
