Mr. Barry Ryan:

The short answer to that is we do not. We compile the numbers on the register when it is published and at draft stage. When the registration authority publishes the register in February, we will know the final figures on each register for presidential elections, referendums, European and local elections and so on. There is a balancing figure because people have been struck off and others have come on to the register. While the overall figure may look the same, it may not show the full picture for the number of adjustments or people taken off. The registration authority, the local authority, which has legal responsibility for compiling the register, has those figures.
