As Deputy Higgins is aware, she is in a constituency where the Sinn Féin organisation is very strong. We have two out of the four Deputies. Therefore, some of that information will have been put in manually. Traditionally, people would have taken the marked register and their canvass returns and compared them visually. That is a facility that in some instances we will be able to do, but it would only be in a constituency that is very well organised.
