asked the Minister for Justice if he will make arrangements to have the relevant portions of the register of aliens for each constituency furnished to the registration officer for such constituency; if he will make arrangements to have such lists regularly so furnished as soon as may be after the 15th September in each year and, further, if he will arrange to have a copy of each such portion available for display or inspection in each constituency.
Mr. Boland
Arrangements are in force whereby the electoral lists are scrutinised by the Garda Síochána who maintain the local registers of aliens and who have instructions to bring to the notice of the registration officers any names of unqualified persons which appear on the lists. Accordingly, I do not think there is any need for furnishing extracts from the aliens register to the registration officers, and to my mind there would be objections to publishing the extracts.
Would the Minister mind getting the commissioner to circulate to the Garda Síochána officers concerned, and the barracks concerned, a reminder pointing out that they should check the aliens on the register, because I know of cases where aliens were let slip through?
Mr. Boland
Very well.
