Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I move amendment No. 16:

In page 4, line 46, to delete "shall" and substitute "may be required to".

This amendment deals with the documentation. There is a degree of overkill in requiring all imprisoned applicants to submit all of their documentation, as many of them will not be in a position to do so. The amendment would make the furnishing of such information discretionary rather than mandatory.
