It is also gratifying to hear the concerns Deputy Billy Timmins has about how one cannot depend on councillors to have a discretionary basis between Arklow and Greystones. I agree with him as there are particular instances in this regard that we both share.

As regards interfering with an independent Boundary Commission's report, the Deputy knows me long enough to know I would not do that. I am sure there would be a fair amount of activity on all sides of the House about where one should draw any line in terms of political interference.
