Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

That appears somewhat inconsistent. I am mindful of other legislation that could be used. Why can we not continue using SEM? It appears somewhat inconsistent that both terms would be used. Perhaps the Minister of State's reading of it is correct. SEM is referred to throughout from section 4. In other legislation we stuck with whatever abbreviation we used. I presume a legal problem will not arise in the future.
