asked the President if he will state what further steps have been taken by the Executive Council since the matter was last discussed by the Dáil to have the Boundary Commission set up; if he will say if any discussions are in progress with a view to having a conference, as reported in the English Press, if he will state how soon it is likely a definite step will be taken by the Government of the Saorstát in this matter.
CEISTEANNA.—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION.
There is little to add to my previous statement on this matter. Progress has been necessarily delayed by the recent General Election in England. No discussions are taking place at the moment on the subject of the conference to which the Deputy alludes. Invitations to a conference were issued by the present British Government and accepted by us, but no date has so far been fixed. It is obviously impracticable to take further action until we know whether a change of Government will take place in England.
