On 23 April 2009, Minister for the Environment John Gormley announced that the electronic voting system was to be scrapped, by an as yet undetermined method, due to cost and the public's dissatisfaction with the current system.
•
The proposed change was under the supervision of then Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government Martin Cullen.

In October 2006, a group of Dutch hackers, including Rop Gonggrijp, showed how similar machines to the ones purchased in Ireland could be modified by replacing the EEPROMs with Nedap -Firmware with EEPROMs with their own firmware.

On 6 October 2010, the Taoiseach Brian Cowen said that the 7,000 machines would not be used for voting and would be disposed of.
