Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages.
3:00 pm
Joe McHugh (Fine Gael)
I thank the Minister. We have commenced the debate on this issue. I had intended to pursue a division but I acknowledge the Minister's frankness and openness in engaging in this debate and I will withdraw my amendments.
However, local authorities are severely underresourced and do not have the personnel to maintain the electoral register. It is important to recognise this fact.
