Vol. 495 No. 1
68 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the plans, if any, he has to limit expenditure by candidates and political parties at the 1999 local elections; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17660/98]
I am at present considering whether section 72 of the Electoral Act, 1997 which provides for the making of regulations concerning donations and election expenses at local elections should be commenced and regulations made under it for the local elections to be held next year.
