I move amendment No. 4:

In page 20, after line 45, to insert the following:

"(4) Where a child is born in a vehicle or vessel in transit from one place to another and the precise place of birth cannot be identified, the place of birth to be recorded shall be that of the townland or civil parish concerned, or other identifiable geographical area concerned, or if that cannot be ascertained, either the place of departure of the vehicle or vessel or the place of arrival, as may be specified by the informant,".

While the Minister gave a satisfactory response to this issue on Committee Stage, some Senators still have some concerns.
