I move amendment No. 16:

In page 9, to delete lines 20 and 21 and substitute the following:

"(2) The Education Acts 1878 to 2001 and sections 2 to 5 may be cited together as the Education Acts 1878 to 2007.".

This was drawn to my attention by Deputy O'Sullivan on Committee Stage in regard to the citation of legislation. The provision regarding the collective citation of legislation is not as originally understood, as the Deputy pointed out. The Vocational Education (Amendment) Act 2001 introduced a new citation for the Education Act 1998 and, therefore, the amendment is necessary to reflect and continue the existing citation. I thank Mr. Humphreys and Deputy O'Sullivan for that.
