Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 9:

In page 14, lines 11 and 12, to delete "Acts 1990 and 2000" and substitute "(Amendment) Act 2000".

These are technical amendments in respect of the proposed amendment to the Act. It is unorthodox drafting practice to amend a collective citation rather than a specific Act. The Act being amended by this section is the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act 2000 and this group of amendments is designed to make this clear.
