I move amendment No. 2:

In page 13, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following:"(i) his or her nationality (if known);".

During the debate on Committee Stage, Deputy Mac Lochlainn proposed amendments to sections 9, 11 and 13, which deal with the registration of liaison persons, the register of vetted persons and the applications for vetting disclosure. Under each section, certain information is required, such as name, address, etc. Deputy Mac Lochlainn proposed including the person's nationality in the list of information to be provided. I agreed with the Deputy that such information should be included where possible and to introduce the appropriate amendments on Report Stage. Deputy Mac Lochlainn has tabled similar amendments, although they differ slightly in as far as the amendments I have proposed provide for the situations where nationality may not be known. I hope the Deputy will acknowledge that we have adequately covered the matter and I am grateful to him for raising the issue on Committee Stage. It is a useful amendment to the Bill.
