There’s a TD for every 23,000 of us and a cancer specialist for 500,000

ACCORDING to the constitution, the number of TDs cannot be more than one per every 20,000 of the population, and cannot be less than one per every 30,000.

In other words, a TD can only represent between 20,000 and 30,000 people and has the protection of the constitution from being burdened with any more.

At the moment, there are 166 TDs, which equates to about one TD for every 23,000 people.
