Adoption Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
2:00 pm
Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
I am informed that section 48, as drafted, provides that "The Authority may take evidence orally or on affidavit." If the authority takes evidence orally, it does not preclude it from taking it on affidavit also and vice versa. Therefore, the amendment is not necessary.
