Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I do not want the message to go out that the Government is against publication by electronic means. The amendments have been superseded by amendment No. 4 which states publication of any of the reports or documents specified in the legislation "includes electronic modes of publication which are capable of being read in a legible form and cognate words shall be construed accordingly." This means that part of the publication process of these reports will be by electronic means. That is mandatory. All other documents might be put out by the digital hub. Given the type of entity it is, it will publish by electronic means. The amendments are not necessary because it is already included in amendment No. 4. This should take care of the Senator's concerns. I am trying to be as helpful as I can.
