John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

Some of the provisions of this Bill replace existing provisions of the 1999 Act and some confer additional functions to those provided in the 1999 Act. It is, therefore, necessary that the provisions of this Bill are read together with the provisions of the 1999 Act and the title of the single electricity market Bill needs to reflect this position. It is, therefore, appropriate that the word "amendment" is reflected in the Title of the Bill and, accordingly, this amendment is not accepted.
