Water Services Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
12:00 pm
Cyprian Brady (Fianna Fail)
Section 19(1)(f) makes clear that e-mail is only one of the ways that can be used to serve notices. It can be used in conjunction with other methods. It is the same as sending a facsimile. If one sends a hard copy in the post, it will be received two days later. We should not go down the road of technophobia, although many people use e-mail in the ordinary course of business on a daily basis. I suggest that the wording of paragraph (f) is appropriate.
