The Minister for Education referred to the statement which had been made by Deputy O'Connell to the effect that there was, for example, one transport system in both areas.

Despite that fact, however, I do think it can be shown that there is a community of interest between the two areas which more than off-sets any case which has been adduced or can be adduced to justify the partition proposal. The onus of proving that there is any necessity to partition the City of Dublin rests upon the framers of the Bill.

Obviously, the contention of the Minister for Education is that the method of local government in Dublin which was created by the British Government for the purposes of the British Government is one that cannot be questioned without very good cause. I deny that we should accept the situation that now exists as the natural order of affairs. He stated that the onus of proof rested upon those who opposed the Bill. He did not, however, set out to prove that statement.

The Minister for Education stated that there was no community of interest between the districts which it is proposed to include in the coastal borough and the districts which it is proposed to include in the Dublin municipality. I do not wish to go back over any part of the ground which I covered last night in relation to this Bill, but there are one or two matters concerning the proposal to establish a coastal borough and the proposed constitution of the new municipal council that I would like to refer to again.
