Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I second the amendment. We had a good debate on Committee Stage and I agree with Senator McCarthy's point. Documents are hard to come by and are not always easily replaced. I keep my birth certificate in a safe for when I need it but I have a copy if it is required for other occasions. The same applies in this instance.

We passed legislation concerning driving licences to the effect they must be carried while driving. I am unhappy with this. Copies can now be easily obtained. I am sure the Minister will accept this amendment due to the manner in which the House has accepted her other points. It is sensible, logical and correct.
