I propose to take Questions Nos. 175 and 176 together.

The Constituency Commission Report 2012 was presented to the Ceann Comhairle and laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 21 June 2012. The next step in accordance with accepted practice is for the preparation of a Bill in my Department to give statutory effect to the Commission's recommendations. The final determination of the constituencies for Dáil Éireann is a matter for the Oireachtas to prescribe in legislation. I will bring the necessary legislation forward in the coming months.

I have no plans to issue public information leaflets about the Constituency Commission's recommendations.
