‹ Order of Business (Resumed) Boundary commission appointment
Summary
The Leader confirms that the local-government boundary commissions were appointed the previous day and are expected to report by spring, allowing time to prepare for local elections.
They will report by the spring. Therefore, people will have at least 12 months in which to plan for local election campaigns.
Senator MacSharry called for a debate on banking matters. Members have had ample time to outline their views on these matters in recent months when we have had Ministers in on various subjects. I do not think anybody can say that we have not had sufficient time to debate budgetary matters in various areas. We have had more debates than I thought on that issue.
