Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages (2 May 2012)

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages (2 May 2012)

Fidelma Healy Eames: While I may not have mentioned it earlier, I should state officially that Fine Gael supports this Bill. As for some of the amendments under consideration, it is useful to have laid out the particular criteria in amendment No. 1 that could be drawn down by any other group in the future. That is helpful because it means Members will not be obliged to draw up another amendment subsequently....
