Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
1822. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the deadline for submissions to the local government boundary committee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1709/18]
View answerI established two Local Electoral Area Boundary Committees on 13 December 2017 to review and make recommendations on local electoral areas. They are tasked with reporting to me within six months.
The Committees are independent in the performance of their functions and the arrangements necessary for receipt of submissions are a matter for the Committees themselves. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that each Committee will advertise a public consultation in due course. Any queries can be directed to boundarycommittee@housing.gov.ie.
