James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 7, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:

"'voter-verified paper record' has the meaning assigned to it in section 5;".

This amendment inserts a definition of the term "voter-verified record". It is connected to my earlier proposal regarding the new section 5, which requires a voter-verified paper record. This is something for which the Opposition and the general public have been calling. Members on the Government benches in both Houses also see the need for a paper trail. I hope the Minister will consider accepting this proposal, even at this late stage.
