asked the Minister for Local Government if he will consider handing over the compilation of the register of electors to the Garda authorities.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Register of Electors.
29.
I do not at present envisage such a change, which would require amending legislation. Under existing arrangements the Garda Síochána assist in having inaccuracies in the draft register corrected.
Would the Minister say what exactly is the function of the Garda Síochána in this matter?
When inaccuracies are discovered, they are reported to the Garda Síochána and they check up on these reports.
Purely incidentally?
That is all.
