Mr. Liam Daly:

Mr. O'Loughlin may speak more to the detail of the legislation. The online channel mirrors the existing in-person arrangements. There are legal obligations on people to register a birth and to register a death. The exact same obligations will apply irrespective of whether somebody fails to do it in person or online. We specify who the qualified informants are, for example, in respect of registration of deaths, there is an order of priority within next-of-kin or family.

Equally, there is an obligation on parents to register a birth too.
