I move amendment No. 4:

In page 5, to delete lines 23 to 37 and substitute the following:"(3) An tÚdarás may at any time review an authorised provider to ensure that the provider is--

(a) not describing itself, or causing itself to be described, as a university in the State or for a purpose other than a specified purpose, and

(b) complying with any conditions imposed under section 2(6).

(4) Where, upon consideration of information received under subsection (2) or following a review under subsection (3), an tÚdarás considers that an authorised provider is--

(a) describing itself, or causing itself to be described, as a university in the State or for a purpose other than a specified purpose, or

(b) not complying with a condition imposed under section 2(6),

it shall inform the Minister by notice in writing of its opinion and the reasons for its opinion.

(5) Where in relation to an authorised provider--

(a) the Minister receives a notice from an tÚdarás under subsection (4), or

(b) it otherwise comes to the notice of the Minister that the provider is, or may be--

(i) describing itself, or causing itself to be described, as a university in the State or for a purpose other than a specified purpose, or

(ii) failing to comply with a condition imposed under section 2(6),

the Minister may give a direction in writing to the provider concerned to cease such use or to comply with such condition as the case may be.".
