Jim McDaid (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

All I can say to Senators is that if a lay person was to attempt to read this legislation, he or she would consider it to be double Dutch. It is drafted in another form of the English language. The provisions of the Bill use a different phraseology to Senator Browne's amendment to achieve the same effect. My officials have indicated that the provision the Senator seeks to make through his amendment has been accepted in principle in the Bill which is drafted using a different wording. I will not return to the Dáil with the legislation for the sake of different phraseology.
