European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combatting Disinformation: Discussion

I do not know what Deputy Howlin thought about Arnold but an extension of what the Deputy was saying is that there are a lot of young people who are not going to vote twice but they do feel that they have a right to maintain the registration that was down home even if they are living up in Dublin. They may have no intention of voting in Dublin but they might end up on a register there and they do feel that they have that right. I know there are laws about normal habitual residence and everything else like that, but it is the case, if I can phrase it that way, that they are just choosing where they exercise their vote rather than voting twice.
