I move amendment No. 8:

In page 5, line 38, to delete "and" and substitute the following:"(ii) develop a system whereby interested parties can register electronically with Waterways Ireland and be notified of all bye-laws proposed to be made, and".

This basically allows for the use of modern technology in the notification of by-laws and so on. The provision as it stands would put them up in the old-fashioned way and many people miss such notices. The eurotender system, for example, informs a registered party of any changes, which saves much hassle for people. It is suggested that this could be introduced in connection with by-law changes and that this be provided for in legislation as a valid way of informing people where necessary.
