I suggest that the clerk could write to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government because an abundance of taxpayers' money is being wasted in this regard. A number of publications are produced. Could the Comptroller and Auditor General carry out a cost-benefit analysis on how it could be done better? It is regrettable that deceased people are still on the register of electors. Families get very annoyed by it and they send back letters. The list is totally inaccurate. We are concentrating on the postcode but the person in the house could be deceased. That is an indication of how bad the system is. I hope a report could be done.
