Professor Farrell spoke about the elections of 2011 and 2016. Has he conducted any studies in the area of local and European elections? I am thinking about younger voters, who Dr. Reidy mentioned, and about trying to involve them in the process and educate them about the importance of voting. The local elections are what affect them at home and on the ground. It might be something that they would see as a reason to get out and vote for the local council. That might later lead them to involvement in general and, it is to be hoped, European elections. Has Professor Farrell conducted research in that area? Is that part of the overall process when he talks about doing his research or is he focusing only on general elections?
