Brian Stanley (Laois-Offaly, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 4, lines 39 and 40, to delete "or centralisation" and substitute ", centralisation or localisation".

This amendment proposes to insert the word "localisation". The focus here is on centralisation and regionalisation. If services are being decentralised from central government to regional level, that is fine. In this case there would seem to be one way traffic in that the services are being transferred from local level to central level. That is the reason I propose the insertion of the word "localisation" where it makes sense in the section.
