Interpretation Bill 2000: Committee Stage.
5:00 am
Feargal Quinn (Independent)
The purpose of my amendment was to improve the Schedule. I have already made the point I wish to make in a shorter manner than I intended. The Bill would be improved if we were able to ensure that, in future, we use electronic communications to reach a wider audience. I cannot express this better than Senator Ryan. It is somewhat similar to not recognising the change from handwriting to type and printing. It is akin to not recognising that electronic means of communication now exist. The generation following me do not write letters. They use text or e-mail. We have not stepped into the 21st century and this is an opportunity to do so.
