Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 21:

In page 24, line 11, after "Minister" to insert "with the approval of the Dáil".

I have just been reminded by my colleague that the time remaining to deal with the legislation is very short. Therefore, I will withdraw my amendment and accept the Minister's amendment No. 22, which does not give everything I seek but certainly goes a long way.
