I move amendment No. 14:

In page 25, line 6, to delete “to ensure the attainment of” and substitute “having had regard to”.

These amendments are to change the wording in section 42 which deals with data protection and the sharing of information. "Best practice" is a phrase that is vague and hard to define. I therefore propose to use these words which give Sport Ireland more scope. The new body will have to be aware of and have regard to best practice. However, there will be no absolute duty to ensure everything Sport Ireland does is fully in line with best practice. I believe this to be a better wording.
