Mr. John Wilde Crosbie:

Yes. That is a perennial issue with all legislation, but it has come to our attention particularly concerning the aquaculture licences. We fear that the same thing might happen with this Bill if the commencement section is not qualified in some way, at least to make the Minister accountable to the Oireachtas. In situations where the Minister might have decided that certain provisions could be left out, they could be enacted but would not be brought into force.
