Mr. James Tully

Could the Taoiseach say if the amended constituency map has been placed in the Library?

The Taoiseach

I do not know. Perhaps, if the Minister for Local Government is asked, he will answer. I do not know, honestly.

Mr. Dillon

If he were asked, the answer would be "No".

Mr. James Tully

Has the amended constituency map been placed in the Library?

Mr. Boland

Has it been placed in the Library?
