I think Senator Burke is asking the procedure with regard to marriages and the obligation of registering. Traditionally in Ireland, many marriages were in churches. After the end of the marriage ceremony, the civil registration aspect took place. I know it is different legislation. I recall when we were bringing in the legislation expanding it to include solemnisers of marriages. Is the responsibility on the solemniser or the couple to register the marriage? I think that is Senator Burke's question. The witnesses may not have that to hand.
