Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour)

I move amendment No. 2:

In page 3, subsection (3), line 24, after "Act" to insert ", other than sections 8 and 9,".

As mentioned earlier, the Limerick Regeneration agencies will be dissolved. A new Limerick regeneration office has initially been set up with administrative support from Limerick City Council, but will report directly to the manager-designate of the new unitary authority in Limerick, once appointed. The establishment orders for the Limerick Regeneration agencies contained so-called sunset clauses. The agencies will cease to exist in June 2012. Amendments Nos. 9 and 10 are required to give a brief extension to July to allow all the necessary arrangements to be put in place for the dissolution of the bodies, and the transfer of assets, liabilities, etc. The amendments will not delay the wind-up of the agencies, which is already under way.

Amendments Nos. 2 and 18 are technical amendments required as a consequence of amendments Nos. 9 and 10.
