Michael Kitt (Fianna Fail)

I wish to give an example as other Members have done. Senator Dooley presented the example of County Clare, which might have been entitled to five seats if it had kept its territory intact. Unfortunately, this did not happen. A similar situation obtains where Ballinasloe Town Council borders County Roscommon. The Minister is aware of the existence of such issues. We will not resolve them today. I present examples in which it may be simple to change the borough territory, such as Galway city and county. However, it is difficult to do so where adjoining counties are concerned. I would like the Minister to keep that in mind.
