asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state if any decision has yet been reached in connection with the holding of local elections in County Roscommon this year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Roscommon Local Elections.
An election of members of the Roscommon County Council will be held this year, in common with other local elections, within the period 23rd June to 1st July, unless there should be a poll for the Presidential election. If this should happen, it will be necessary, with the authority of the Oireachtas, to make arrangements so that both the Presidential election and the local elections will be held on the same date close to, but not necessarily within, the period I have mentioned.
