The chairpersons of the committees which are reviewing the boundaries at Athlone, Carlow, Drogheda and Waterford have indicated that further work is required in order to complete the reviews, including work arising from the large volume of submissions received on foot of public consultations. My Department is in communication with the chairpersons regarding the additional timescale involved and clarification in that regard is awaited. As the committees are independent in the performance of their functions, it is not appropriate for me to comment further on the matter.
