Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

The constituency review is taking slightly longer because it is comprehensive. One or two Senators asked me whether an embargo on Senators standing for election to local authorities might be considered. Everything is being considered. I will come back to the Seanad on the last day of this session and update it on the review of local electoral area boundaries.

Senators Wilson and O'Reilly spoke about an issue that is of interest to me because it concerns my constituency. I have never seen people and their families so concerned or interested about anything as the proposed cable to run from Kingscourt across north Meath and down into Meath West, which is my constituency.
