This seems to be the most glaring omission from the reworking of section 160. All I ask is that the matter be reconsidered by the officials. There has to be a way of tracking the individuals from company to company and ensuring that local authorities are able to apply the provisions of section 160 to individuals when they move through companies as opposed to within a company or through a parent company. It would not require a major change to the Bill. I intend to bring forward an amendment back on Report Stage, but it would be much better if the folk sitting on either side of the Minister of State worked up good amendments in this regard because this is a live issue. It is happening now and needs to be addressed.
