I move amendment No. 4:

In page 5, line 27, to delete “Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government” and substitute “Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government”.

Amendment No. 4 is a minor amendment to correct the definition of the term "the Minister". I am sure other people might like to do that in a different way. In section 2, "to mean the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government" must be corrected in light of the change in the title of the Ministry since the Bill was published in early 2016. There are eight further references of this nature throughout the Bill, which require the reference to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to be corrected with the new title, namely, the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. I will accordingly be moving amendments Nos. 32, 33, 36, 37, 46, 48, 99 and 100 as we reach them during the debate today. It is the same issue for all of them.
