Mr. Ryan is confirming what I know. The reality is there are no qualifying criteria. When it comes to actually operating the polling stations and ensuring the validity of what is taking place in the ballot box, there could be people who cannot communicate verbally or in any way with others. It is entirely on them to take action to ensure there is no voter impersonation and to engage a garda and ask him or her to arrest somebody engaging in voter impersonation. This is a weakness in our electoral process. That is before we get into the other complicated areas of campaigning.
