Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I add my voice to those of Senator Bannon and Senator Finucane. We dealt with this last night and I will not repeat myself but Senator Finucane is correct. Software is now available to do things which we could not do in the past and this is a good example. The aim of electronic voting is not speed but accuracy and, therefore, trust and confidence in the system is important. This would be very simple to do and I urge the Minister of State to consider it. This matter is not as urgent as it was because electronic voting is not being introduced. I have seen people affected by the non-random provision and it is incorrect. It does not create confidence or trust, which should be among our objectives. I urge the Minister of State to consider it in the future, if not on this occasion.
