The Daily PollTHE DÁIL IS to be reduced from 166 to 158 TDs under measures announced today by the Constituency Commission.
There were a raft of changes to constituencies around the country that will leave a number of TDs scrabbling for their seats – but the net effect is to leave the Dáil eight deputies smaller.
The eight-seat reduction will increase the average population per TD from roughly 27,500 to just under 29,000.
So what do you think? Do you agree with the cut to Dáil numbers?

Well done, i like writing, it good.
These novelists have little to do with real people who never read their books. A curious elite who seem to constantly be on the awards circuit.
@Con Murphy: I read their books. Am I not real?
@Deborah Blacoe:
I’m sure you are real in a very real sense of the word real.
Surely Mike’s book has a full stop at the end ?
My moneys’ on him , if only for the quirkiness ………………
@Ken Hayden: Can’t see any point in writng a book without a fullstop, unless it’s a very short book. It seems Joycean self-importance is still proving seductive to our writers.
I don’t read their stuff. I suppose it’s good if someone in London or New York tells us it’s good.
@Con Murphy: why do you suppose it’s good if someone in New York or London endorses it? Make up your own mind.
For a brief moment there I thought it was walter white!
have your say
