Like Senator Seery Kearney, I welcome the concept of the amendment. We have worked with many people through pre-legislative scrutiny and all of our work on the Bill. It would be incredible to think there is no step beyond simply saying there is no birth certificate. A process, procedure, advice and somewhere to go to be able to gain more access or increased access to who one is, where one came from and how one's life began is necessary. The wording of the amendment might be too strong for this Bill, but I await the response of the Minister because there are important and beneficial concepts in the amendment.
