(Cavan): I move for leave to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to establish a Constituency Commission.
Constituency Commission Bill, 1968: First Stage.
Is the Bill opposed?
(Cavan): Surely it cannot be opposed——
Will the Deputy resume his seat? There can be no debate now and the Chair will inform the Deputy——
(Interruptions.)
The Deputy will please resume his seat.
(Cavan): The Taoiseach recommended this; it would prevent gerrymandering. You want to get at gerrymandering now.
(Interruptions.)
Pursuant to Standing Order 89 (2), the debate is adjourned to the next day on which Private Members' Business is to be taken.
The commission would prevent gerrymandering.
