John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

Before discussing the amendments, in an effort to be helpful I wish to make some opening comments. The Second Stage debate took place in the House recently and a number of points were raised. Some of them will be addressed in the amendments before the House today. However, a couple of other items were raised, either in this House or in the Dáil, and I wish to inform Members of my intentions in regard to them.

The first is an approach to addressing the issue of pre-signed mass cards.
