I move amendment No. 74:

In page 21, between lines 26 and 27, to insert the following: “(3) For the purposes of the performance by the Minister of his or her functions under Part 4 of the Principal Act before the transfer day, the relevant area shall be deemed to be part of the city of Cork.”.

This amendment will insert an additional subsection (3) in section 22 to provide that the relevant area is to be deemed part of the administrative area of Cork City Council for the purposes of the performance by the Minister of his or her functions under Part 4 of the Local Government Act 2001 when making the orders to divide Cork city and Cork county into local electoral areas for the 2019 local elections.
