End of Report to OP&F.

Subsequent to the presentation of the foregoing report to the OP+F Committee Meeting, it has come to our attention that due to a mapping error a number of electors, generally located on the north eastern side of Mill Road, Saggart, had been inadvertently included in the Clondalkin Electoral Area. These 39 electors are properly part of the Tallaght South Electoral Area. They previously voted at Naomh Mhuire NS, Saggart and will continue to vote there.
