Seanad debates

There were also problems where, for example, there was a change in agent in the course of the election. Where this occurred, under the Act, the onus is on the returning officer to notify the commission of the change but in some cases the returning officer was not notified and, therefore, could not provide the correct information. In its report, the commission states that some returning officers were not fully aware of their responsibilities. I am sure that was unintentional but it points out the anomalies.
