Census data and constituency revisions
Molloy asked whether detailed census information was available to decide on constituency revisions. The Minister said he had supplied the available information, but gave no further clarification.
I take it from the Minister of State's reply that part of Deputy Fahey's question was disallowed because the second part of his question had been answered previously by the Minister for the Environment in reply to a question which I had put down. If I recall correctly, the Minister for the Environment on that occasion — am I correct in this? — stated to the House that the detailed information arising from the most recent census was not yet available to him or to the Government to enable them to make any decision in regard to the need for constituency revisions. Could the Minister of State give a clear indication to the House as to when the detail which would enable the Government to make this decision will be available, arising out of that last census?
