Electoral Commission: Motion
6:00 pm
Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)
I agree with Senator Boyle that we need consistency with regard to the running of elections. I support Senator Coghlan's remarks on boundaries, including local election boundaries. What will be the division in my city of Cork? Will it be along the river? If so, current wards will have to change and there could be an imbalance with 13 or 14 wards on the north side and 17 or 18 on the south side, which could be a recipe for chaos or misrepresentation between one area and another. We need balance.
