Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 88:

In page 26, line 40, after "with", to insert the following:

"a Committee of the Houses of the Oireachtas having responsibility for matters relating to transport and with".

The amendment arose as a result of the Committee Stage debate on this matter during which I undertook to examine section 18. The amendment provides that a draft code for reduced mobility be forwarded to the clerk of the committee of one or both Houses of the Oireachtas - to all intents and purposes the Committee on Transport - for the purposes of the consultation process. This provision is being made in direct response to the case made by Deputy Broughan for having the Committee on Transport involved in this matter. I hope it meets his requirements and on that basis, I ask him to withdraw amendments Nos. 89 and 90.
