Before dealing with the section, I wish to highlight that two technical amendments to correct grammatical errors will be needed on Report Stage. I draw this to the attention of the committee now to avoid potential conflict later. Subsection (4) of section 3 dealing with regulations should be subject to the section that enables plebiscite regulations to be made, which was passed by the committee last night as amendment No. 106. I would like to bring forward an amendment to that effect on Report Stage. I will also bring forward an amendment on Report Stage to subsection (7) of the new section dealing with the annual contribution by the city council to the county council, inserted by amendment No. 71, in the context of Cork. It is a drafting amendment to change the last word in the provision from section to subsection.
