Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 15, line 2, after "agencies" to insert the following:

"and such sectoral interests as IFI considers relevant".

The amendment I propose follows on from the Committee Stage discussion of this section. As I indicated on Committee Stage, there is a practical difficulty with the amendment proposed by Deputy Coveney in that the term "sectoral interests" is open-ended and could cause difficulties for Inland Fisheries Ireland when operating under this section. Accordingly, as suggested by Deputy Coveney on Committee Stage, I propose that the amendment would read "and such sectoral interests as IFI considers relevant". I ask that the amendment be accepted and for the reasons stated, I cannot accept amendment No. 5.
