Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 30:

In page 12, line 12, after "The" to insert "relevant".

This amendment provides that an authorisation for the retention of documents where it is considered necessary can be made by the relevant Minister rather than the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. This means, in effect, that Ministers for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Finance and Defence will make decisions on retention.
