Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation

============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

I ask the Deputy to bring forward legislation and it can be considered. I must point out that it will require a constitutional amendment. My view is that when you look at the provisions contained within the Constitution, they are probably correct. Twenty Members of the Oireachtas and-or four local authorities are required. Much consideration went into drafting that. If the Deputy wants to change that, he must bring forward a Bill proposing how the Constitution should be amended. I would be cautious as to whether or not the Irish public would support it.
