Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I thank the Minister for being reasonably responsive. He is fitting into the middle of the spectrum of helpful Ministers. He is mostly on the positive side. Whether he agreed or not, he responded to the issues put to him and he did not hide behind advice.

We have the capacity to reproduce good quality images. The schedule of the Bill is a verbal description of a map and that should become a thing of the past. Our capacity to process images is as good as our capacity to process words. Using convoluted language to describe a map is anachronistic and we should move on. We should be able to envisage legislation that incorporates a map of the territory involved.
