I was late coming in and I missed the discussion on amendment No. 110, which is similar except this relates to public limited companies. Will the Minister of State offer some clarity?

The amendment proposes to insert the words "and prohibition of certain activities" and this provision is being disapplied in respect of section 18. What type of companies is one talking about in this regard? While section 18 states a company must carry out activity within the State, this provision then applies an exemption for certain types of companies.
