After almost being removed from the Register of Electors last year, along with 19,000 other people living in the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council area, I decided it would be a good idea to check the register online this evening. It was supposed to have been updated and made official today. Guess what, despite reassurances that people would not be removed I don't seem to be on the register.
At least, I should say, the online search fails to find me. I do suspect that the search is not working at all so I will have to call into the Gardai station to check the official paper based register. It's a bit annoying because it means either I have been removed despite the councils promises, or yet another Government IT project isn't working properly (I'll wait a few weeks before calling it a failure).
I'd recommend that anyone who wants to vote in the next election should check the register, soon.
