Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government maintains an extensive programme of legislative activity covering primary and secondary legislation. While I have no specific proposals for restatement or consolidation of electoral law, the matter will be kept under review in the light of available resources and the priorities of the Government's ongoing statute law modernisation programme.
