Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee and Remaining Stages
5:00 pm
James Bannon (Fine Gael)
That person had submitted a claim form and so on, and checked the Internet, but was not on register. I told the person I had written on their behalf but nothing happened. This is what is happening in many cases. It is not fair that such people will be disenfranchised at the next general election.
I know others will not make the same effort in this regard. I am working hard in my constituency. People think much of the Fine Gael team in the Longford-Westmeath constituency and they are enthusiastic to register to ensure we get two out of the four seats at the next general election.
