Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Moylan raised an important issue, namely, the register of electors. We all got our draft register and I think that all the activity about it has led to these problems being exposed. There are a large number of deletions and additions, but there are many questions to be answered about the register. Tomorrow week, 25 November, is the final date. The Minister has spoken about a rolling register, which I thought was a good idea. It means one can keep on adding the names as people hand them in. Between April and August we gathered 800 names which we duly sent in to the county council, yet none of them is on the register. They have vanished without a trace.
