Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

There is no hard and fast rule in this area. While it has been common practice until a short time ago to state, first, the name by which the body being established will be known, in practice, and, most commonly, the English version of the name, I note that some recent Bills have departed from this precedent. This issue arises in a number of other areas in the Bill. I would like to make appropriate changes in the Seanad and I, therefore, while accepting the point he makes, invite the Deputy to consider withdrawing the amendment.
