Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Design and Layout of Ballot Papers: Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

4:00 pm

Mr. Enda Falvey:

We had some feedback. Obviously, no system is absolutely perfect. Generally, the comments were very positive but a few people contacted the Department with suggestions. One was to the effect that the Irish version could be put at the back of the ballot paper and that it was still confusing having the Irish and the English on the face of it. Some people raised smaller points such as that "Sea" and "Ní hea" might be more relevant than "Tá" and "Níl". Those are the ones that come to mind. Generally, the complaints were of a minor nature in my view and most of the comments were positive.
