I move amendment No. 6:

In page 15, to delete line 7.

These are technical amendments to delete the titles of sections 6A and 7A. The section headings to sections 9 and 11 will be the section headings of the new sections 6A and 7A if a consolidated version of the Act of 2014 is published, for example if proposed by the Law Reform Commission. This is the correct drafting convention. Keeping the titles as they are would result in a superfluous repetition of the titles in a consolidated version. This amendment is, therefore, to correct a drafting oversight.
