Hallmarking (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages
10:30 am
Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I compliment the Minister and her officials. This is very important legislation, not least because, as the Minister rightly said, it is about ensuring that people get what they pay for and that it is genuine. We have seen a growth in television programmes such as "Antiques Roadshow", and then we had the whole cash for sale issue. I commend the Minister. I said here a number of weeks ago that the Minister is doing a tremendous job. I encourage her with her officials to highlight the importance of this Bill for the ordinary citizen because, as she said, jewellery is expensive. Let me add that I do not have anything of high quality. It is important we highlight the importance of the Bill and what the Minister has done in it.
