Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

We are talking about three technical amendments, two of which were identified on Second Stage. I accept what has been said that the third amendment was not so identified. It relates to the Aer Lingus share ownership trust. If the Minister had been aware of it on Second Stage, he would have brought it to the attention of the House, but the committee will have an opportunity to discuss it. I do not know when the Minister became aware of the necessity for this amendment. I will ask the Chief Whip to check that and I will revert to the Deputies.
