Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 5, lines 38 to 40, to delete all words from and including ", having" in line 38 down to and including "occasions" in line 40.

It is not clear why it is necessary to have prior communication on two occasions. Did the Minister pick that number for a reason or would one occasion be sufficient? Is it there because a mistake could be made by an individual who would not know the age of a child? I seek elaboration on this aspect.
