I welcome this. It is a good, positive step. I see where Deputy Canney is coming from. Is there a way, if not in the legislation, to cover that in the guidelines? Science is always advancing. Could some reference be made to it in the guidelines even if it cannot be put in the legislation? It is good to see it being expanded. I see both sides of the argument. They say that one has less chance of knowing the relationship as one goes further down the chain, but when one knows people who are directly involved and want to see if they can be traced, it is very difficult. Could an addition to the guidelines afterwards be a solution?
