The Constituency Commission presented its report on Dáil and European Parliament constituencies to the Ceann Comhairle on 23 October 2007.

My Department is currently preparing, for consideration by Government, proposals for an Electoral (Amendment) Bill which will, inter alia, provide for revisions to Dáil and European Parliament constituencies in accordance with the Commission's report. I expect to be in a position to publish the Bill early in 2008.
