Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I have and I will keep saying it. One has to have a valid registration, otherwise it is an offence. That clarifies Senator Mooney's question. If one does not have a valid registration, even on reregistration it has to be valid. I am prepared to consider what Senators Ó Domhnaill and Ó Clochartaigh said on the time period and the cumbersome way in which one might have to re-register. I will return to the point on Report Stage if I am in a very generous mood at 11.50 p.m.
