Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 31:

In page 22, to delete lines 23 to 35.

The first group of amendments relate to the reporting of the authority. What has been presented to us and what has been debated so far is that all the reportage shall go to the Minister. This group of amendments seeks to ensure that the reporting is to the Oireachtas and to make the authority accountable to the Oireachtas rather than just the Minister. In other words, they aim to broaden it. They aim to clear a number of things up as well relating to the committee. We have the name of the committee. The aim of the amendments is to broaden the legislation for future committees because, as we know, committees change from time to time. The amendments seek to delete "Minister" and replace it with "the Oireachtas".

Amendments Nos. 45 to 48 involve minor deletions flowing from that.
