Irish Nationality and Citizenship and Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I appreciate that the Minister has not opposed the Bill. I would like to be able to convince him to support it on Committee Stage. He has introduced two topics which I would like to examine. One is the question of entitlement. I would like to examine it because I do not understand the detail of it. The word "entitlement" clearly creates a problem for the Parliamentary Counsel. He also talked about the difference between the certificate of naturalisation and certificate of nationality, another matter which we should examine.
