James Bannon (Fine Gael)

This just shows the changing times in which we live. I would say that this Bill, like most documents now, was drafted on a computer. With modern technology there has been a change in the use of the comma, full stop and capital letters. In many instances in which they would normally have been used they are no longer used. There were no computers when the Minister and I were in primary school. The wording of the section shows the impact of modern technology on the drafting of Bills. I had hoped the Minister would accept my amendments which I tabled to tidy up and improve the Bill.
