Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if his Department has examined the redrawing of the boundary between Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council in the vicinity of the M50; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31731/16]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 255 and 256 together.
No representations of the kind referred to have been received in my Department and I have no proposals in that regard. It is open to a local authority, under Part V of the Local Government Act 1991, to initiate a proposal for the alteration of a boundary.
