Ceist:312 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the RFA form distributed to local authorities in 2002 conflicts with the Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2003 and with the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2002 and that it has caused confusion among local authorities and has increased their costs; and if he now proposes to withdraw the form immediately and replace it with an opt out version that complies with the Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2003 which would be in accordance with a report published by the Department of the Taoiseach.
