Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, line 25, to delete "inserted" and substitute "as substituted".

These amendments are to tidy up some contextual interpretation of what is happening, replacing the word "inserted" with "as substituted" as a substitution is taking place. I am keen to be informed by the Minister of State what approach his Department is taking on these amendments. Will they be accepted or is there a resistance to doing so? If there is such resistance, what are its grounds?

My motivation in putting these amendments before the House is to assist the Bill. Recently we witnessed that the intention of a Bill and the roll-out of an idea can be two entirely different concepts. My intention is to assist the roll-out of this and ensure the legislation as drafted and read is clear for comprehension and interpretation.
