Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)
I thought commissions were set up to ensure there would be no gerrymandering. I am sure they are fair. We cannot have our loaf and eat it in this regard. I was not around at the time, but perhaps the perception - which is everything - was that additions were being made to constituencies to suit a Minister with a strong vote in a certain area.
