Mr. John Carroll:

I thank the Deputy for the question. There may be a misunderstanding here. On the information we hold at Fine Gael headquarters, it is held here with security and that is the information we hold. Any individual standing for election or elected to local office, national office, or the European Parliament has statutory entitlements to the electoral register. If he or she receives the register in that capacity, it is a matter for him or her who holds and has access to it. Any Deputy has his or her own office and the Oireachtas Commission provides the electoral register to him or her. I am not sure how many people work in the Deputy's office, but he probably has a parliamentary assistant and a secretarial assistant. He may have people job-sharing or whatever else. I would envisage at least three people have access to his electoral register. On top of that, the Deputy has the Oireachtas piece and the Abú database system. Going back to the point made by Deputy Ó Broin-----
