Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 June 2004
185 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will consider amending regulations and arrangements for Litir Um Thoghchán at election time in order that only one piece of election literature is delivered to each home, in the interests of the environment. [16989/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraSection 78 of the Electoral Act 1997 provided that communications to electors under the free postage facility may consist of one communication to each household. However, these arrangements have not been activated to date due to concerns relating mainly to the definition of a household and the absence of a statutory list of households to which material may be sent. My Department will examine this matter further.
