Before we resume Report Stage I must inform Members that the Deputies who questioned whether amendment No. 10 in the name of the Minister should have been moved yesterday, following the defeat of amendment No. 8 were correct. Amendments Nos. 8, 10 and 14 form a composite proposal. As the division on amendment No. 8 was lost, technically amendment No. 10 should not have been moved. However, it was moved and was agreed on a division and, in accordance with established precedent, that decision cannot be revisited here. Any anomaly arising in the text of the Bill can be addressed, and will need to be addressed in the Seanad.

Amendment No. 14, also in the name of the Minister, has not been moved and cannot now be moved.

Furthermore, amendments Nos. 17 to 19, inclusive, 27, 54 to 57, inclusive-----
