Jim Higgins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 28:

In page 11, to delete lines 25 to 29 and substitute the following:

"(c) A document purporting to be a certificate and to be signed by the Secretary General of the Department of State concerned shall, unless the contrary is proved, be deemed to be a certificate of the Minister of the Government and to be in force and shall be received in any proceedings in a court or under section 14 or 34 without further proof.".
