Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 33, in line 5, to delete ", and" and substitute ",".

Amendment No. 23 is consequential to an amendment made to the Video Recordings Act 1989 which was inserted into the Bill on Committee Stage. The amendment to section 31 of the 1989 Act which was inserted by the select committee relates to the fees which the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform may set for the censor, who is to become known as the director of film classification. The amendment has the strong support of the industry and industry commentators.

The consequential amendment now proposed is a standard technical provision which ensures that the income generated from fees fully meets the costs associated with the operation of the Office of the Film Censor, to become known as the Office of the Director of Film Classification, in classifying and certifying video works.

Amendment No. 22 is a technical drafting amendment consequential on the acceptance of amendment No. 23.
