Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 6, line 21, to delete "A" and substitute the following:

"The Registrar shall be designated under section 40 of the Diplomatic Relations and Immunities Act 1967 and accordingly a".

This deals with protection of the operations of the international registry. This section was queried in the Seanad and the response was not entirely satisfactory. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure the registrar would be able to function with all the proper protections and immunities available under the Diplomatic Relations and Immunities Act 1967 which I suggest should be extended to cover the registrar.
