I propose to take Questions Nos. 82 and 83 together.

I am informed that the cost of producing the combined polling card plus the statement for the information of voters for the Lisbon Referendum held on 2 October 2009 amounted to €290,081.56. While my Department has not yet been invoiced by An Post for the delivery of this document to every voter, it is estimated that postal charges will amount to some €2m.
