Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Electoral Reform Bil 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Carroll:

My understanding is the legislation that is proposed will be able to deal with a number of those issues by providing people with an opportunity to register in advance and opportunities regarding the PPS number. They would be very welcome pieces. The more bureaucracy we can reduce by allowing people to get onto the register while ensuring it is accurate is welcome. I concur with Deputy Gould’s view on that.
