Isn't there still major issues with the accuracy of the electoral register, meaning that we can't really make any assessment of the real turnout levels? Not much has changed with how the register is managed since Kavanagh's 2002 paper on the matter

I think, despite strong delivery, the focus on the big picture/leadership positioning was lost, and too often the Greens allowed themselves to be defined by others, and were strategically reactive - for eg. courting rural votes vs shoring up suburban and urban votes.

They're areas (called electoral districts) defined by ordinance survey Ireland and the CSO. They normally contain 1000-3000 households. The CSO publish statistics for each electoral district. The electoral commission uses them to construct constituencies.
