Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 20:

In page 26, subsection (2), lines 39 to 43, to delete all words from and including "in" in line 39 down to and including "to" in line 43.

We are suggesting the removal of five lines from subsection (2) because there is no necessity for them. Subsection (2) states that where a forename is changed, altered or registered, or one or more forenames are added under subsection (1), the then existing entry concerned shall be retained. Why is there a need to add the remaining five lines? They have no purpose. We ask the Minister to consider the amendment in that context.
