On Senator Finucane's point, during recent debates in this House proposals have been put forward on the breaking down of jargon. Some legislative mumbo-jumbo, as it may be perceived, can be quite complex and confusing. I know the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Coughlan, is initiating plans for a more user-friendly and reader-friendly scheme as regards services offered by her Department. The Minister of State could take a lead from Senator Finucane's amendment. Both proposals achieve the same effect, but the amendment is clearer on definition and content.
