I move amendment No. 16:

In page 34, to delete lines 18 to 21 and substitute the following:"(iv) that it develops and has procedures in place for development of programmes that respond to the needs of business, enterprise, the professions, learners and other stakeholders in the region in which the campuses of the merged institutes are located, in a time, place and pace in which to suit their needs,".

This is a minor amendment which seeks to delete lines 18 to 21 and substitute the text outlined in the amendment. In relation to the word "merged", I would like to inform the Minister at this point that I propose to bring forth an amendment on Report Stage.
