60.

[54699/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer to the reply to Question No. 437 of 13 November 2012. In publishing the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Bill 2012 the Government has accepted in full the recommendations in the Constituency Commission Report 2012. This is consistent with established practice since the first independent constituency commission reported in 1980. The determination of Dáil constituencies is a matter for the Oireachtas to prescribe in legislation. Debate on the Bill commenced in the Dáil on 20 November 2012.
