Electoral Amendment Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Deirdre Clune (Fine Gael)
Nobody is objecting to the fact that by-elections will be held within six months of a vacancy occurring. That is an important step. The issue had to be addressed following the debacle in the last Dáil. The limits on spending in the presidential election campaign will come into effect immediately, so it is important that this legislation is passed before the summer recess.
