I understand from the Minister of State's reply that it will not be possible to draw up the new boundaries for urban councils and town commissions. The Minister no doubt is aware that if one out of every three people in Ireland lives in Dublin, two out of every three do not live in Dublin and many of those will be living in built-up areas where the population merits a vote in UDC and town commission elections. They will be denied the franchise, despite requests which have been before the Department of the Enviornment for many years to have new boundaries drawn up. I compliment the Minister for trying to deal with this matter, even belatedly, but the whole thing should be tidied up so that people who have a right to vote will not be denied a vote in these elections in areas where they live and pay rates and other charges.
