Irish Election gets things done ?

Read more about: Fine Gael, Vote Saturday     Print This Post

Fine Gael have produced an Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2007. Weekend voting to be guaranteed by FG Bill – Kenny

1. The Electoral Act 1992 is amended in section 96 by deleting (1)(a) and inserting the following:

“(1) (a) shall be taken on such Friday, Saturday or Sunday as shall be appointed by the Minister by order, being a day which (disregarding any excluded day) is not earlier than the eighteenth day or later than the twenty-fifth day next following the day on which the writ or writs for the election is or are issued,”.

This is great to see. We here have been pushing on this issue for the last few weeks. With the petition and all so it is nice to see a party copying agreeing with us ;) . Now personally I think it should just say Saturday or Sunday but it is a start. Well done Enda.

    Keep it up Irish Election…pretty soon we’ll be living in a Left Wing Environmentalist society with no jobs and a stagnant economy, all because of you guys and your damn principles that people should be allowed to vote.

    Your naivety astounds me.
