Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

We addressed this matter at some length on Committee Stage. As the Seanad also dealt with it to a significant degree, I do not intend to repeat any of the points that have been made. Section 33, which deals with the verification of customers' identities, is an important section. This specific point was made in a submission we received from Compliance Ireland. I am pleased that the Minister has probably introduced a more robust meaning to this section, which I support.
