Malcolm Noonan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy and I will allow Ms Woods to come in on the issue of the postal vote, which has been raised by a number of Oireachtas Members. The issue of resources for local authorities has been raised on a number of occasions, so it is something we have to give consideration to. Regarding electoral boundaries, I am aware of the area the Deputy referred to in Carlow.

The commission will take on the existing work of the constituency commissions in that regard so they will be part of the deliberations.

I ask Ms Woods to address the points on postal votes and the general condition of the existing register.
