I move amendment No. 1:

In page 15, line 34, to delete "subsection (7)" and substitute "subsection (7)of that section".

On Committee Stage, I signalled that I would introduce these amendments on Report Stage. Amendment No. 1 is a technical amendment. Section 13(6)(e) provides that on hearing an appeal on an application for the designation of an event that has not been the subject of the application for designation under section 9(7), a District Court judge may make an order allowing the appeal and revoking the designation made by the Minister. The present wording states that the judge may make such an order "on the grounds that the requirements of subsection (7)have not been satisfied". The amendment substitutes "subsection (7)of that section" for "subsection (7)" in order to make clear that subsection (7) refers to section 9(7) and brings the wording of paragraph (e) in line with that of paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 13(6).

Amendment No. 2 is a grammatical amendment. Section 19(2) provides for certain exemptions to the prohibition on contract terms that exclude or limit the transfer of tickets or ticket packages for no monetary consideration or their sale for a price not exceeding the original sale price. The second line of section 9(2)(b) refers to "tickets" in the plural, but to "ticket package" in the singular. This amendment provides for this substitution of "tickets or ticket packages" for "the tickets or ticket package".
