Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, subsection (1), lines 34 to 36, to delete "Protection of Employment (Exceptional Collective Redundancies and Related Matters) Act 2007" and substitute the following:

"Protection of Employment (Collective Redundancies) (Amendment) Act 2007".

The amendment merely changes the Short Title of the Bill from something extremely unwieldy to something that is both simpler and sufficiently descriptive. It is a tidying up exercise. I have been briefed by the departmental officials, for which I am grateful. While I am not making a major issue of it, I would like to hear the comments of the Minister of State.
