Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I agree with Deputy Ring. The presumption that computers will be able to read and verify people's signatures is not a fair one. There are those who have no difficulty copying the other people's signatures and who have been very effective in doing so. I will not refer to specific instances in that regard but I am aware of a number of them. I can state without any shadow of a doubt that the system the Minister is proposing is not foolproof.
