I do not have the level of expertise that Ms Ní Fhlanghaile and Deputy Ó Cuív have but perhaps the focus could be less on differentiating between types of islands and more on setting out relevant conditions. For example, in general if a returning officer is satisfied that an earlier closing of the poll will not disenfranchise anyone, that could be done. The worry is that if people work on the mainland and there is an early close of polling on their island, it could create difficulties. That would only affect a small number of people but the principle is important.
