View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 544 and 545 together.
The information sought is not readily available but can be accessed by examination of the Acts providing for revisions of Dáil constituencies most recently the Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1998, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1995, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1990, and the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1983. The background to recommendations on changes to Dáil constituencies since 1980 is set out in the various Constituency Commission reports, which were implemented in the referred Acts.
