North Tipperary council elections

Summary

Mattie McGrath asks whether council elections in north and south Tipperary can proceed despite a High Court challenge to the Local Government Reform Act. The Ceann Comhairle rules that the issue cannot be raised during the Order of Business.

In view of the fact that a plenary summons has been issued in the High Court challenging the Local Government Reform Act 2014, will the Taoiseach consider allowing the town and borough council elections of north and south Tipperary council areas continue on 23 May?
