Adoption Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
It is the practice in Irish parliamentary drafting to use the word "signed" rather than "done", although the word "done" is used in the reference to the convention. I am advised this has been the practice, in the same way as Senator Hannigan has been advised to the contrary. That is the phrase used in parliamentary drafting.
