I propose to take Questions Nos. 435, 436, 441 and 442 together.

Registration Authorities – County and City Councils – publish the register of electors annually on 1 February and it comes into effect fourteen days later on 15 February. The publication of the register requires the sending of a copy of the register for the relevant constituency to members of the Dáil, the Seanad, the European Parliament and local authorities. Registration Authorities also provide information on the register to my Department in February each year. Based on this information, the numbers available to me, both nationally and for the constituencies of Cork South West and Dublin South East, for each category of elector are as follows:

The information provided by the Registration Authorities to my Department shows the number of electors registered each year on a constituency and administrative county basis. As the European and Local Election constituencies do not correlate to Dáil constituency boundaries, the information on the number of European and local government electors in the Dáil constituencies of Cork South West and Dublin South East has not been provided to my Department.

The electorate for the recent referendum, as published by the Referendum Returning Officer on www.referendum.ie includes the number of ‘presidential’ electors (that is those entitled to vote at a referendum) on the 2012/2013 register, which came into effect in February 2012, and, in addition, those added to the register by way of the supplement to the register.
