I move amendment No. 6:


In page 26, to delete lines 21 to 26.
I will be brief in my comments. This amendment deals with some of the main concerns we have with the legislation. The NTMA should not be used as an adviser on how to get rid of State assets. It is doing a good job at what it currently does. The paragraph that we propose to delete has the potential to turn it into a facilitator for the selling of State assets. This amendment would rule out that role for the NTMA. It should not be used for that function.
