asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that the list of electors for the Cork City constituency has been for some years and is still being produced in an inadequate fashion which is apt to confuse those using the list for purposes of house-to-house ' canvass, for the addressing of literature to electors whose names are therein contained, and for ensuring that voters are able to vote at the most convenient centre; and if he will state the steps, if any, which he will take to ensure that future registers of electors in the constituency are prepared with due regard for the purposes aforesaid.

I was informed last week by the Cork County Registrar that a number of complaints had been made to him in regard to the manner in which the Register of Electors for the Cork borough constituency is compiled. He stated that the removal of many of the more serious grounds for complaint would appear to depend on the making of a new scheme of polling districts by the local authorities concerned. I have informed him that he should formally bring these complaints to the notice of the Cork Corporation and the Cork County Council so that appropriate action can be taken as soon as possible.
