Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters
Local Authority Boundaries
10:30 am
John Paul Phelan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I have not yet had a chance to talk directly to the Minister for Justice and Equality about this, but I understand the issues that the Senator raises. It would be desirable in the long run to bring the multiple boundaries in line with one another, and I will certainly talk to the Minister about that. As the Minister for Justice and Equality outlined in his response, which I have just delivered, there is currently no consideration of that, but I will ask him whether, in the light of the fact that he has much legislation going through both Houses of the Oireachtas, there is a mechanism for bringing into line the boundaries for sheriffs and coroners.
