If the Minister of State looks at the actual wording of amendment No. 4, he will see it reads, "A specified body may not make presentation of a public services card or access to a person’s public service identity the exclusive basis by which a person may verify their identity". That language gives flexibility to allow the public services card to be used where provision of an additional form of identity is also allowed. Deputy Wallace has focused mainly on the other aspects of the amendments in the grouping. Does he want to say anything about this matter?
