The purpose of this meeting is our Committee Stage deliberations on the Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2014. The Bill was amended on Committee Stage in the Seanad and was referred to the select sub-committee by order of the Dáil on 9 October last. The Bill will amend the Civil Registration Act 2004 in order to address a range of issues identified since the passage into law of that Act and streamline the service available to the public. I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection, Deputy Kevin Humphreys, who has special responsibility for activation, and his officials. As this is the Minister of State's first appearance before the select sub-committee, I take the opportunity to congratulate him on his appointment.
