In light of all the different constituency names, the Minister should have a discussion on whether they could be called names other than those based on geographical locations. I am sure parts of Dublin are confusing for Dubliners, such as Dublin North-East and others. The same applies to Donegal, Sligo and Cavan. Perhaps consideration should be given to this matter. I am sure it would be a source of amusement if people were asked to name constituencies after famous people from those areas or famous events that occurred there. People's imaginations may already be running wild in that respect.

The Minister may consider changing the names of some areas in future. In that case, while one may be crossing county boundaries, the constituency could be named Breifne. Would Senator Wilson be happy with that?
