Boundary commission receives 230 submissions ahead of proposed constituency changes

TDs and other elected representatives across the country have given a mix of recommendations and complaints to the boundary commission ahead of proposed constituency changes this year.

Some ministers and TDs say their areas have been left disenfranchised by previous changes to Dáil electoral areas while other representatives want constituency revisions reversed.

Almost 230 submissions were made to the independent boundary commission by yesterday’s deadline. The commission will give a report to the Dáil in June, after new population census figures are available in March.
