Mary Henry (Independent)

The Minister of State is such a nice man so I will not say that is a likely story or something like that. I can see his point. Could the phrase "at least yearly" not be included? I ask the Minister of State to consider my proposal. Registers exist which are left saecula saeculorum and I know some of them. I am not be happy with the looseness of this section of the Bill.

Senator Browne's proposal for access by the public has not been dealt with. The Minister of State's proposals are not satisfactory. I am an agreeable woman but the section must include a phrase such as "at least on a yearly basis" or something stronger if the Minister of State wants it more up to date, which would be splendid. I have known of registers which have not been reprinted for years in some cases. It is very important to include this proposal.
