MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 27, 2017

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive to examine the establishment of a Polling Station within Adamstown SDZ?

REPLY:

The current adopted Polling Scheme was approved by the members in 2010. A Polling Scheme divides the County into Electoral Areas, Electoral Divisions, Polling Districts and Townlands, and provides a Polling Place for electoral purposes. The making of a Polling Scheme is a Reserved Function of the Council.

A Polling Scheme can only nominate “Polling Place” and this is the area within which the Electors will be accommodated to vote. The actual building or Polling Station which will be used on polling day is determined by the County Sheriff and these buildings do not form part of the Council's Polling Scheme.   

The request to consider the provision of a Polling Station within the Adamstown SDZ has been conveyed to the County Sheriff.
