Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I accept the suggestions made by Senator Ryan but I would wish to review the wording of the definition and bring in an appropriate amendment on Report Stage.

Regarding the concerns of Senator Quinn about electronic publication, I propose to include a definition of "publication" in the interpretation section of the Bill which I think will meet the concerns of the Senator in this area. The proposed wording is as follows: "Publication shall be construed as including electronic means of publication and cognate words shall be similarly construed." This amendment will be brought forward on Report Stage.

Amendment No. 3 is a drafting amendment.
