I move amendment No. 5:

In page 24, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:"Definitions for Part 4

40. In this Part—
"anti-doping organisation" means a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code that is responsible for adopting rules for initiating, implementing or enforcing any part of the doping control process including, without limitation, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, WADA, international federations for sport, national anti-doping organisations and other major event organisations that conduct doping testing at their sports events;
"data subject" has the same meaning as it has in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003;
"doping in sport" has the same meaning as it has in the UNESCO Anti-Doping Convention;
"Irish Anti-Doping Rules" means the rules made by Sport Ireland under section 41;
"national anti-doping organisation" has the same meaning as it has in the World Anti-Doping Code;
"personal data" has the same meaning as it has in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003;
"processing" has the same meaning as it has in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003;
"relevant purpose" means the purpose of preserving the integrity of sport through the detection, prevention and elimination of doping in sport, including the application of sanctions in connection with such doping, on public interest grounds and for the benefit of sportspersons generally;
"sensitive personal data" has the same meaning as it has in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003;
"UNESCO Anti-Doping Convention" means the International Convention Against Doping in Sport adopted by the UNESCO General Conference at Paris on 19 October 2005, as amended;
"WADA" means the World Anti-Doping Agency constituted in 1999 by the Constitutive Instrument of Foundation of the Agence Mondiale Antidopage;
"World Anti-Doping Code" means the World Anti-Doping Code adopted by the Foundation Board of WADA on 5 March 2003 at Copenhagen, as amended from time to time.".

This amendment will move the definitions relating to the anti-doping part of the Bill from what is section 45 in the published Bill to a new section 40. This means the definitions related to anti-doping will become available at the start of Part 4. This technical amendment is related to the parliamentary draftsman's advice on the structure of the Bill and makes for easier reading. With one exception, all the definitions in the old section 45 are the same as the definitions in the new section 40. In the case of the definition of the term "relevant purpose", I am proposing a new wording as follows: ""relevant purpose" means the purpose of preserving the integrity of sport through the detection, prevention and elimination of doping in sport, including the application of sanctions in connection with such doping, on public interest grounds and for the benefit of sportspersons generally;". The new wording gives more detail about the type of activity in which Sport Ireland will engage to help prevent and eliminate doping in sport. This will include detection and sanctions.
