I know Deputy Ó Broin also looks at constituencies and where votes are. There are 43,000 houses in my constituency. It is very difficult to get around to 43,000 houses. There is an electorate of 100,000 and that would probably be higher if everybody had the vote. Given the time constraints and everything else there is to do, it is very difficult to canvass in a particular area. I like canvassing but looking at the map it is very difficult to get around the constituency. That is why that might happen. I thank the witnesses for their responses.
