Presidential Voting Rights: Motion
10:30 am
Mark Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
We realise there is a requirement for a constitutional change, but the Government does not appear to have the impetus or will to do so. If we are considering extending the voting rights for elections to this House, we should include the presidential election which would be the same constituency. It appears that some legal obstacles can be overcome when it comes to voting rights for citizens overseas. I cannot understand why that cannot be utilised for the presidential election also.
