The lead up to the next general election began on 7 January 2004, \nwith the publication of the Constituency Commission report on recom- \nmended Dáil constituency boundaries for that election. Differential \nlevels of population change between 1996 and 2002, with particularly \nhigh levels of population increase in eastern Ireland, ensured that \nconsiderable changes to boundaries would be involved. Seat losses \nwere expected in Cork, the North West and North Midlands area, and \nthe North City constituencies in Dublin. Seat gains were expected for \nthe commuter-belt counties of Kildare and Meath, as well as for the \nrapidly growing western suburbs of Dublin. The decisions of the \ncommission were of great interest to the different political parties, as \nwell as to individual politicians for whom a boundary change might \ngreatly impact on their future electoral prospects. The report was also \nlikely to have a particular bearing on certain areas and their representation levels, as well as their levels of political engagement and \nparticipation
