John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The advice from the Attorney General is that it is not proposed to accept the amendment. I will outline his position on it. The Attorney General's office has advised that if a provision of this nature were to be inserted, the wording proposed in this amendment should not be used. This is a miscellaneous Bill which amends a number of Acts and it is not appropriate from a technical standpoint to collectively cite the whole of the Bill when enacted with the other health Acts. It is not proposed to accept this amendment as the Bill, as it stands, does not require it.
