Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 9:

In page 9, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:

"11.—Section 30(1)(e) of the Defence Act 1954 is repealed.".

Reluctantly, I will not press the amendment. However, I suggest to the Minister that he should alert his colleague the Minister for Defence of the necessity of achieving what I have suggested in it. We can come back to the matter on another occasion.
