I welcome the clarification and the changes to the redeemability of gift vouchers, and that the same conditions will be given to the recipient and the purchaser. The Minister of State made clear the need for replacement vouchers. Gift vouchers should never have an expiry date and should last forever. I welcome the Minister of State's changes and congratulate him and the Department on the Bill's passage. It is important legislation that will give equal protection to the recipient and the purchaser and is about ensuring we make it easier for people to use gift vouchers and gift cards.
