Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

It would be interesting to hear some details from Deputy Morgan as to how his ideas on the supplementary register might work in practice, and how people might go about being registered under the system he has described.

As regards the figures provided by the Minister and the comparisons to which I have drawn attention, is it not the case that we still have a problem? We are still not sure if the register is accurate. Does the Minister regret not having accepted the recommendation by the Labour Party at the beginning of last year whereby all this could have been avoided? We could have an accurate register now if the Minister had used the census system to assemble it.
