Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Voting Rights in Northern Ireland: Discussion

2:45 pm

Mr. Mark Bassett:

I will comment on Senator Frances Black's question about drawbacks. Some of the difficulties include the cost and practicalities. I am not aware of any state that thought it was a good idea in principle that thought it was beyond its capability to accommodate non-resident citizens voting. There are some difficulties, but it seems to us that they have always been manageable.
