Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 20:

In page 8, subsection (1), line 27, to delete "contractual arrangement" and substitute "employment, office or position".

The purpose of this and the following amendment is to bring the section into line with the definition of "public servant" which will include categories of people who hold office or other positions but are not covered by the term "employee". An example would be a board member or a Secretary General. Amendment No. 21 has the same purpose as the previous amendment. I understand the Leas-Cheann Comhairle has also asked me to discuss amendment No. 23.
