The point made by Senator O'Meara could be looked at by the Minister before Report Stage. One would presume it would be updated on an ongoing basis as cases are advised to it, but perhaps there should be provision in the legislation, for example, that information would be added to the register within so many days of receipt of notice. I accept that one does not wish to be overly prescriptive, but if there were difficulties within that office the register might not be updated for one or two months.

Having such information available could also be useful in the processing of cases by either defendants or plaintiffs. Perhaps the Minister will examine the matter between now and Report Stage.
