Ciarán Cuffe
Ceist:72 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if, in view of recent research that shows that there were between 660,000 and 800,000 surplus polling cards issued for general election 2002 and that the Irish electorate is far larger than the adult population, he plans to devote the necessary resources and develop adequate systems in order that a centrally co-ordinated, computerised and widely accessible electoral register can be established, in order that an independent body is established to oversee this development and the maintenance of the system, in order that the register can be thoroughly checked on a house-to-house basis in advance of the next poll and in order to allow for names on the electoral register to be cross-checked with a database such as the database of PPS numbers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
