The census of population was concluded last year and the boundary commission established by the Government reported on foot of its results. It is my understanding legislation is ready to implement the recommendations of the boundary commission. Since it is custom and practice for the House not to amend the impartial recommendations of the boundary commission, although I remember such recommendations being hotly debated in the past, will the Taoiseach specify when the mandatory legislation to implement the changes required by the increase in population will be brought before the House? Can it be done before the end of this session?
