Joe Costello’s High Court action over Dáil representation was adjourned for two weeks for mention only, reported on 5 December 2017. He argued that the next Dáil could be unconstitutional unless legislation increased the number of TDs before the next general election.

The case concerned the 2017 Constituency Commission recommendation to increase Dublin Central’s representation from three TDs to four. Costello’s counsel said legislation implementing the recommendations was expected to pass through the Dáil that week.
