I am talking about something that happened ten or 15 years ago. In fairness, the council has been good.

The fact we are now dealing with a rolling register is a real success. As regards the review of the register and automatic registration, I accept there are issues relating to GDPR. We must really get down to dealing with whether we can use PPS numbers and people leaving because that is how we ensure the maximum possible franchise. We must allow a greater amount of freedom, so that we can introduce some of the stuff that they have in the North as regards proxies and having greater access to postal voting for people who are on holidays. In some cases holidays or family events may have been booked a long time in advance. It is incredibly difficult to do.

The checktheregister.ie facility is good but there is a need for a bit of dickying it up. I am talking about a couple of "if" statements. When I try to search for myself, for some reason, as great as Louth County Council is, there are no fadas on my name and there is an apostrophe included. When I search with the apostrophe on the phone, I cannot find my name but it is fine if I remove the apostrophe. Including the apostrophe in the search does work on a computer. It is a minor thing. It will probably have to be done like a Google search or other search where there is no difference whether or not there is a fada. They are very simple things.

I will just go back to what was said earlier. Seeing will be believing in regard to the commission's interaction with the tech companies. The problem is that while Cambridge Analytica has possibly been dealt with, its own algorithms created an awful lot of these problems. We know there are companies looking to make money and we all deal with the unintended consequences on a day-to-day basis.

Mr. O'Leary says he has a big stick, which he called Part 5. Could he just outline the detail on that?
