Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I thank Deputies for their contributions. I will speak to Deputy Crowe about the specific points he made. The purpose we all have is to ensure we have the best possible register. The best way to do that is to encourage people to get on the register because, as Deputy Crowe said, if one is not on it, one cannot vote. That is the whole point of the campaign. No council can use the excuse that resources were not made available this year. We have doubled the amount of finance available and have put €1 million into an advertisement campaign.
