I would have thought so. These amendments deal with the granting of licences to hold events. Amendment No. 1078 deals with the matters to be prescribed by regulation by the Minister with regard to applications for licences for events and, in particular, proposes that such regulations would include a requirement that the contact details of the person in charge of the event be publicly available. I do not consider that this amendment is required as the Minister can already prescribe the form and content of an application for a licence, the information to be submitted with an application and other information the Minister considers appropriate. Having said that, we can look at the regulation to seek that this be included. It seems to me to make eminent sense, so I give you a commitment, a Chathaoirligh, that we will do that.
