Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-30
============================================================

Rebecca Moynihan (LAB), Administrative Panel

I am seeking clarity on whether the Minister is going to appoint the boundary commission under current legislation or wait for the electoral commission to be established. I hope that it happens under current legislation. The electoral commission will have a significant body of work ahead of it in terms of its establishment and the ordinary members. I am seeking clarity on how that will happen, given the fact that the census results were published last week.
