I move amendment No. 66:

In page 18, to delete lines 29 to 34 and substitute the following:

“(i) whether or not he or she has accepted an offer of admission for another school or schools and, where the applicant has so accepted, he or she shall provide details of the offer or offers concerned, and

(ii) whether or not he or she has applied for and is awaiting confirmation of an offer of admission from another school or schools, and where the applicant has so applied, he or she shall provide details of the other school or schools concerned,”.

Amendment No. 66 is a proofing amendment to ensure consistency of wording between section 62(7)(j)(i) and 62(7)(j)(ii) and to make clear that the requirement on an applicant who is accepting an offer of admission in a school to provide that school with details of offers awaited from other schools, will apply only where the applicant has actually made any application or application to other schools.
