Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages
8:35 pm

I move amendment No. 6:
In page 14, to delete line 32 and substitute the following:
"
Louth and Coastal Meath The county of Louth Five
".
I will not press the amendment but I want to reiterate what Deputy Cowen said about wiser heads who have been here a lot longer than me. Cognisance needs to be taken of giving people an identity in terms of their constituency. In this modern age we should be capable of coming up with a name and I suggest that the name I propose would be adopted on the next occasion if the constituency stays the same. I am not hung up on whether it is east Meath or coastal Meath.
