Labour’s Cllr Dermot Lacey notes over on his blog that Dublin City Council have started their voter registration drive for the new electoral register. Nice posters, which include messages in English, Irish, Chinese and what is presumably Polish, are up in Smithfield and other areas with high numbers of people who don’t have English as a first language.
I’m sure Dermot is particularly eager for those in Pembroke-Rathmines Ward to register, of course!
The actual poster is below the fold (don’t want to break the front page).

Is it any worse that electing people who can’t add?
SO they don’t come gettoised. Or simply because they can vote in local elections.
