Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I welcome that Senator Ellis raised the issue of boundary changes. From the Leader's response yesterday, there will not be an electoral Bill this session or year, although an electoral Bill might be published this year. The electoral boundary committees are sitting and must report by 20 June. It seems their remit will extend to dealing only with Dáil constituencies used in the previous general election rather than the ones recommended by the commission. Perhaps the Leader might care to revisit that.
