David Cullinane (Sinn Fein)

I welcome the Minister to the House and I acknowledge that the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government attended the Chamber on a number of occasions when issues concerning his portfolio were being debated. That is important and should be welcomed. I look forward to the support of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government for the Waterford constituency remaining a four-seat constituency. For that to happen, part of occupied north Waterford must be brought into the Waterford constituency. There is a proposal that everything from across the bridge to Rosbercon and New Ross should be within the Waterford constituency for it to remain a four-seat constituency. I am sure the Acting Chairman agrees with me.
