I move amendment No. 5:

In page 4, between lines 1 and 2, to insert the following:“(g) a person who is employed by the Central Bank of Ireland;”.

The purpose of this amendment is to exempt the staff of the Central Bank from the provisions of the Bill. The Government has agreed that the creation of a compulsory retirement age under primary legislation for staff of the Central Bank of Ireland is not appropriate or in line with the bank's autonomy in setting pay and conditions for its staff as set out in the Central Bank of Ireland Act 1942.
