Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
790 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will rescind the Ministerial Order which transferred part of County Laois to County Carlow for electoral purposes only resulting in hundreds of voters being disenfranchised here which provides their services. [11399/04]
View answerThere is no provision to rescind by way of ministerial order the electoral alterations referred to which were made in 1994 following the agreement of the local authorities concerned. However, it is open to them at any time to make an agreement as to responsibility for the delivery of services in the relevant area. I would also refer to the reply to Question No. 133 of 4 March 2004.
