The Chairman will be glad to know I will not return to electronic voting. How is the reserved constituency envisaged to operate? Would the candidates come from the diaspora? Would they reside in the island of Ireland or their adopted countries? How would the logistics work, for example, if they had to come for a vote on a Wednesday evening from New York, Ottawa or elsewhere? I am concerned about how that might work and whether they would come at all.
