Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I will be brief. In section 31 there is mention of Members of Dáil Éireann but no mention of Members of Seanad Éireann. I ask the Minister of State to include the word "Oireachtas" in the section by way of an amendment on Report Stage. I suggest that section 31(2)(b) be changed to insert after the words "local authority, members of Dáil Éireann", the words "and Seanad Éireann resident in the area" or whatever terminology he wishes.
