		In this three-seat constituency of Waterford, with the bulk of the population in the city, the constituency of Waterford will again be represented by people residing in the city of Waterford, due to the fact that the county has not got the population.
		The population of County Roscommon when Fianna Fáil came into office was 83,556 and that population is now 56,228 people, a drop of 37,328 people during the term of office of the Fianna Fáil Government.
		The reason, of course, why it has not been made a three-member constituency is that the position in Dublin is rather “dicey” from the Government's point of view and three-member constituencies are dangerous from their point of view in Dublin.

	Labour opposed to Sligo-Leitrim constituency division - Indymedia Ireland
		The division of county Leitrim by the Constituency Commission and the creation of a new Sligo/North Leitrim 3 seat Dail constituency and a new Roscommon/South Leitrim 3 seat constituency has been described as disappointing and unfair by Labour Alderman Declan Bree.
		Alderman Bree said "I accept that the Constituency Commission is independent and impartial and is obliged to make recommendations according to the changing demographics in the country.
		However the reality is that the increased number of three-seat constituencies and the reduction in five-seat constituencies will make it more difficult for the Labour Party and smaller parties to have representation in the Dail.

		FG and FF will run three candidates, one in Leitrim, one in North and one in South Roscommon; otherwise the North Roscommon FFer would be a shoo-in and FG's overall vote in the constituency would fall by about 3,000-4,000, thus ruining any chances of taking two seats here.
