Civil Registration Bill 2003: Committee Stage (Resumed).
7:00 pm
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
The English language is being misinterpreted because I read this section, as would any court of law, as "may" meaning "has a right to" or "shall be entitled to". I accept that "may" has two meanings but it is clear in this context that "may" means "has a right to" and I cannot conceive of any court interpreting it any other way.
