I had anticipated that response. It is a pity that the issue was not examined more during the long period between Second Stage and now. The practical difficulties could easily be overcome. For example, the State authorities could have the obligation to inform the subject. It is worth taking note of other jurisdictions where there is a duty to notify. Without that duty to notify, the section 10(2) procedure seems rather ineffective. In any case I will press the amendment, but I realise that I cannot push this any further with the Minister of State.
