Martin Mansergh (Tipperary South, Fianna Fail)

Before I reply to Deputy Noonan's amendment, I need to mention some matters before the conclusion of Committee Stage.

Before continuing with today's proceedings, I would be obliged if, in accordance with Standing Order 136, the Ceann Comhairle would direct the Clerk of the Dáil to make the following minor drafting correction to the text of the Bill. The correction is as follows: in paragraph (d) at the end of page 41, the reference to section 784(3) should read, section 784C(3).

I also wish to give notice that the Minister will be moving two amendments on Report Stage. First, an amendment to a section of the Bill, as amended on Committee Stage, to deal with the taxation of excess remuneration paid to persons employed in an institution that has received financial support under either the Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Act 2008 or the National Pensions Reserve Fund Act 2000. Second, an amendment deleting section 18 of the Bill, as amended in its entirety on Committee Stage. This section deals with self-assessment pay and file.
