“There is still time to get your name on the supplementary register if you are not already registered to vote. You can easily check if you’re registered by logging onto www.checktheregister.ie,” advised the Fine Gael candidate for Pembroke South Dock.

“Anyone who may have recently moved to Dublin, or moved house, should make sure they are registered to vote locally.

“Application forms for the supplementary register can be downloaded from www.checktheregister.ie or obtained from Dublin City Council.

“The Local and European Elections will be held on Friday, May 23, and if you want to have your say about who represents you at local government level, it’s important you are registered now.

“The closing date for inclusion on the supplementary register is Tuesday May 6 – or April 26 for Postal Votes. I am advising people to get their form organised as soon as possible - and remember that it must be witnessed by a member of An Garda Síochána.”
