Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 4

In page 25, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:

"(c) the disclosure is made in the interests of public health,".

This is an interesting amendment because it deals with a person not contravening section 26(1) by disclosing confidential information in the interests of the public. This would happen only in rare or exceptional circumstances but a person should not be afraid to say something if it is for the common good. That is why we regard it as important to insert this provision in the Bill.
