I have also received notice from Senator Michael Comiskey of the following matter:

To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if the present north, south and west divisional structures within Cork County Council will remain in place once the local election boundaries are reviewed and adjusted and if so, if a certain minimum number of councillors will be elected for each of the divisions.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Cullinane, Healy Eames, Higgins and MacSharry as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Comiskey, Colm Burke and Bradford may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
