If the Minister of State or the Government were cognisant of the thrust of these amendments in that they seek to recognise the historical significance and geographical location of the constituencies in the previous commission and this one, as referred to by Deputy Ó Cuív, the next time a commission is asked to do a job of work the terms of reference might allow for the Dáil and-or the commission to have greater cognisance of the historical nature of the sites and their topography and to allow that to be reflected in the name of the constituency.
