Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I am sure the Minister of State will agree that Senators Norris and Ross have made some fair and equitable points. I do not think they disagree with the point about the Library Association of Ireland that was so ably advanced by Senator Leyden. We need to reflect on the core objective of this Bill. When one considers the expertise and knowledge of the Irish Writers' Union and the Irish Copyright Licensing Agency, it is clear that they have the greatest right to act on behalf of the writers who own the copyright to their material. It should almost be a sine qua non. I fully support the amendment in that respect.
