Be that as it may, the commission is an independent body and has done a good and thorough analysis of the situation. With regard to the people we represent, however, our case would be that the county boundaries should be maintained, even for the sake of two extra seats. Everyone deserves to have good representation. People from one area should not be put into another, leaving that area without representation, especially on the Government side. The loss of a Government TD is a serious one for an area. I speak with considerable experience.
