Joe McHugh (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 4, before section 6, to insert the following new section:

"6.—Section 6(2) of the Electoral Act 1997 is amended by the substitution of the following paragraph (b):

'(b) each constituency shall return three, four, five or six if necessary, incorporating all of Leitrim and retaining its full constituency entity;'.".

I have the pleasure of moving this amendment in the absence of Senator Bannon.
