I will take the next slot. The Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023 goes to Report and Final Stages in the Dáil tomorrow, and then on to the Seanad. I think we will be okay to meet that deadline even if an election is called. I turn to the last point made by Mr. O'Leary. Is the pre-enrolment of 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds being monitored? Is he aware how much of that is going on at the moment? Is that part of it being enacted? I talk to schools about it and they tell me it is great, but none of them have done it yet. How will the commission monitor and watch that as it goes along?
