Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I move amendment No. 25:

In page 45, to delete lines 11 to 17.

This amendment concerns section 54 of the Bill which sets out transitional provisions to apply for the changeover to the new structures. The Department has been advised by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel that subsections (2) and (3) which deal with the preservation of rules should be deleted as they are inconsistent with the powers conferred on Inland Fisheries Ireland under existing statute. These provisions are therefore redundant and should not be included in the Bill. Accordingly, I move that amendment No. 25 be accepted.
