As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
TOTAL number of persons registered as Dáil and/or local government electors on the 15th April, 1950 and the 15th April, 1960.
Register which came into force on 15th April |
Dáil Electors |
Local Government Electors |
1950 |
1,787,228 |
1,807,589 |
1960 |
1,669,408 |
1,694,744 |
Note.— There are small differences, due to the multiple basis of registration of electors as Dáil electors and as local government electors, between these figures and the figures for the total number of persons on the register.
