Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I move amendment No. 64:

In page 73, lines 18 and 19, to delete all words from and including "with" in line 18 down to and including "Minister" where it firstly occurs in line 19 and substitute "after it".

I propose an amendment in lieu of Deputy Twomey's amendment No. 65 to section 88(2)(a). I am satisfied there is no particular requirement for the council to obtain the consent of the Minister for Health and Children on the approval of programmes of basic medical education and training, and the bodies to deliver these programmes. I have taken on board Deputy Twomey's amendment.
