CervicalCheck campaigner calls for review of electoral register as late wife gets polling card

CervicalCheck campaigner Stephen Teap has demanded a root-and-branch review of Ireland’s register of electors after a general election polling card arrived for his wife, Irene, who died almost three years ago.

Mr Teap said the arrival of the card in the post highlights a lack of care and attention to detail in a key state system and underlines why people have a general lack of confidence in such systems.
