Interpretation Bill 2000: Committee Stage.
4:00 am
Michael Kitt (Fianna Fail)
I will confide in Senator Quinn that one of the first questions I asked my officials when I examined this Bill related to the issue of electronic signatures. As the Senator said, the Taoiseach and the former President of the United States of America, Mr. Bill Clinton, were involved in promoting the move towards electronic signatures in a technological age. At this stage, it would be best to say this is not an interpretation provision. As I said to Senator Brian Hayes, it would be better to pursue this legitimate issue through examining the Documentary Evidence Act. I will ask my officials to pursue this matter also.
