In the context of the Minister's response to the question on dual citizenship and British people who have taken out Irish citizenship, if one is entitled to vote only in local elections, there will be an "L" besides one's name on the register. There might be a lot of people on the register who either have dual citizenship or have recently taken out Irish citizenship but may not realise they do not have the right to vote in the European elections. Is the Department aware of this and will these people be informed to the effect that they may lose out if they do not inform the people who keep the register of their Irish or dual citizenship?
