Batt O'Keeffe (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 40:

In page 18, line 40, to delete "the Minister for the Environment" and substitute "the Minister".

Section 12 relates to the eligibility criteria for registration. The change in the reference to the Minister is purely technical for the purposes of uniformity in the Bill. Amendment No. 41 provides that the practical experience of seven years necessary for persons applying for registration under this section will apply to practical experience undertaken in the State.
