Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I move amendment No. 8:

In page 19, lines 4 and 5, to delete "and in accordance with the request".

This amendment relates to control, as the Bill over-eggs the pudding. Throughout the Bill, the ministerial control of the council is not healthy or necessary. The Minister can make an order or a request and the council can make rules for the purpose of better operation "in accordance with the request". It sounds as if belts and braces must be used because the people in question are juvenile delinquents rather than sensible adults with considerable expertise. It is unnecessary wording and I ask the Minister to delete it.
