andMr. S. Dunne asked the Minister for Local Government if he is yet in a position to state the date of the local government elections.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Local Government Elections.
5.
A decision on the date of the elections has not yet been taken.
Could the Minister give the House any indication as to whether the elections will be held this year or next year and whether legislation will be necessary to change the date of the elections?
If the elections are not held until next year, legislation will be necessary; but if they are held this year, legislation will not be necessary. If the Deputy repeats his question in a week's time, I will be in a better position to answer.
When is the year? What is the final date?
It is the calendar year.
