Fossil Duel Divestment Bill 2016 [Private Members]: Committee Stage
10:00 am

As I said to the Minister, amendments Nos. 13 and 16 are in my name. They primarily deal with the issues mentioned already regarding the impact on micro, small and medium enterprises and where companies are transitioning from being a fossil fuel company. Amendment No. 16 refers to where divestment would trigger costs associated with contractual obligations. I accept that those issues are referred to in other amendments as well, so I will assess it as we proceed. I might well reserve them until Report Stage when we see how the Bill is progressing.
As nobody else wishes to contribute on the group of amendments, I will put the question. Is Deputy Pringle pressing the amendment?
