Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

The Taoiseach told me on 14 April that the task force would report within six months. Did I hear him say that it has not yet been appointed? Will he say when that will happen? Does he agree that one of the most important manifestations of active citizenship is fulfilling one's duty to vote, something that has been declining in recent years? Will the Taoiseach ask the task force to examine that, for example, in the context of remarks made in a report published recently by Democratic Dialogue on similar terrain? Does the Government intend to do anything about the state of the electoral register?
