Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Government became concerned that Limerick had won too many All-Ireland Championships and decided to slow this down. I say that in jest. It is getting priority drafting and as soon as the legislation is published, we will be in a position to give a timeline. We are very keen on fulfilling the wishes of the people of Limerick as expressed in that plebiscite.
