I move amendment No. 42:

In page 39, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following: “(2) The public information campaign described under subsection (1) shall be targeted at persons within and outside the State, and shall be in plain English.”.

It is important that an information campaign is extended beyond this State because many Irish people emigrated to America and Australia, for example. We, in the Civil Engagement group, believe that the Government should work with people and that people have a right to information about their relatives, etc. We recommend that the Government accepts the amendment because it is important that family members get closure. The amendment calls for a simple task to be done, especially with the technology that is available these days and I look forward to hearing the ministerial response.
