Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (29 Nov 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I support both amendments as they will deal with the issue of access to proper data for legitimate reasons and ensure that constituents all have their place on the register of electors. I also support the notion mentioned by the Minister of a rolling register. It would be particularly useful because society has changed so much from the times when people were in the one location for most of...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Report Stage (28 Nov 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I wish to speak on amendments Nos. 17, 20 and 22. Amendment No. 17 is aimed at people who have difficulty in proving identity.

That is reasonable because I do not suspect that there are hundreds of people in prison...

However, this Government must take the lion's share of that burden. It has been in Government for 18 of the past 20...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Instruction to Committee (28 Nov 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I wish to share time with Deputies Gregory, Catherine Murphy and Cuffe.
