I move amendment No. 1:

In page 32, after line 39, to insert the following:“(10) Where—

(a) a listed awarding body is a body established under the law of a state, other than the State, and

(b) apart from the provision made by this Act for the Authority to exercise powers in relation to it, that awarding body is subject to regulation or quality assurance by an agency established outside the State,

the Authority may, for the purpose of conducting a review under subsection (1) in respect of that awarding body, cooperate with that agency.”.

These amendments transfer a subsection from section 55(1) to section 55G and they make the relevant consequential changes. These are technical amendments to correct a drafting error identified in section 55(1) following the passage of the Bill through the Seanad.
