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

I will defer to Ms Woods on the specific issues around the register. I will not get into a political comment with regard to engagement from political parties but, from our perspective, it is vital that all political parties and representatives engage in this process. It is a vital process which will transform our electoral system and lead to greater transparency, accountability and participation in the electoral system. It is important we have a high level of engagement across the Oireachtas on this.

As far as I am aware, the data protection impact assessment is under way. I ask Ms Woods to respond to the specific questions the Senator asked on the register.
