Postal Voting System for Elections
Deputy Fitzpatrick asked which postal-voting system would apply and whether different systems could be used for the European and local elections; the Minister said an announcement was pending and agreed the Deputy could be right.
(Cavan-Monaghan): Am I right in thinking that the form of postal voting we will have is that which has been in operation in Dáil elections for years and not the system which was in force for the local elections last time?

I cannot say at this moment but an official announcement will be made shortly in relation to this.

Neither of the two questions asks anything about the system of voting. We cannot have a discussion on the matter.

(Cavan-Monaghan): Would the Minister not agree that it would be impossible to have one system for one election and the other system for the other election?
