The general question of legislation to amend the local elections law, including a proposal to enable the Minister for Local Government, on his own initiative, to divide the county boroughs of Cork, Limerick and Waterford into electoral areas is at present being considered. I am not at present in a position to say when this legislation will be introduced or to give further details of the proposal.
