This amendment inserts an explicit reference in section 60 to the international component of the public information campaign. Having listened to Senators' views on this matter on Committee Stage and recognising the importance of the information campaign and that it must reach those living in other jurisdictions, it is appropriate that the primary legislation should reference the international element of the campaign. The amendment inserts the words "parents and relevant persons residing outside the State" in section 60. I thank Senators for their constructive debate on this issue on Committee Stage.
