Section 9(1) of the Electoral Act 1997, as amended, requires a Constituency Commission to present its report to the Chairman of the Dáil no later than three months after the publication by the Central Statistics Office of the final results of the Census in respect of the total population of the State. The final results of the 2011 Census were published on 29 March 2012. Therefore the Constituency Commission, which I established in July 2011, must present its report on Dáil and European Parliament constituencies to the Chairman of the Dáil no later than 29 June 2012.
