Vol. 174 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Proportional Representation in Local Elections.

48.

asked the Minister for Local Government whether the Government intend to introduce proposals for legislation to abolish proportional representation for future local government elections.

The position in regard to this matter is as was indicated in the reply to similar questions on 25th November last.

I do not think it is quite a similar question. What I want to know is, if it is intended to introduce legislation to abolish P.R. for the next local elections?

No legislative proposals are at present under consideration.

For the next local elections?

For any local elections.

Does that mean that the Government are getting cold feet?
