Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

This is the same territory as the last amendment. The impact of this amendment would be to eliminate the one-hour notice of termination or suspension. I will not read out the response I gave to the Deputy's last amendment.

As part of the conditions we will agree with the undertakings on the method by which notice of termination will be made so that termination can take place immediately. We will agree with them a precise method of how we do that. There will be no uncertainty on what we will do with each undertaking to make sure it is the best arrangement from its perspective as well as from the State's perspective. It will be helpful to do that. For the same reasons as with the previous amendment, I will not accept this amendment.
