Before commencing, I will ask for Clerk's corrections. I would be obliged if, in accordance with Standing Order 140, the Acting Chairman would direct the Clerk to make the following minor drafting corrections to the text of the Bill, which are being done in the interests of textual clarity and correction of cross-references and do not affect any substantive amendment.

Seanad amendment No. 71 relates to section 42 of the Bill as passed by Dáil Éireann and substitutes a new subsection (b) in that section on page 39. There should be a footnote associated with this amendment to confirm that the Schedule referred to is Schedule 6, which is being inserted by Seanad amendment No. 172, rather than the existing Schedule to the Bill.

Seanad amendment No. 94 relations to section 68 of the Bill as passed by Dáil Éireann and inserts an amended subsection (2) on page 51 between lines 11 and 15. The text inserted by this amendment should be inserted as subsection (2) rather than subsection (1).

Seanad amendment No. 230 relates to Schedule 6 of the Bill as passed by Dáil Éireann and inserts new text on page 143 between lines 11 and 12 that relates to the reference to SI 623 of 2006, European Communities (European Public Limited - Liability Company) (Employee Involvement) Regulations 2006. There is a typographical error in the text to be inserted in line 13 by this amendment. There is an additional "a" in the first line of the text that appears in column 4 of this amendment that is superfluous and should be deleted.
