Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the serious crisis in regard to the compilation of the electoral register as a result of which thousands of people have been removed from the electoral register, including many who have been on the register at the same address for many years, particularly the situation in Dublin Central where up to 30% of names are missing from the register; and the urgent need for the Government to take action to extend the date for checking and seeking corrections to the register beyond the deadline of 25 November.
