This is a large group of amendments, as the Leas-Cheann Comhairle said, and some of the amendments in it are mine - I think I am right in saying amendments Nos. 35 to 38, inclusive, 45 to 47, inclusive, and 49. However, the amendments that are mine in this group in fact relate really to my substantive amendment No. 59, which is on the mandatory information session, so it may be better to address my comments when we come to that grouping as I know that this is a substantive point on which, again, we had a good deal of discussion on Committee Stage. Some of the amendments I have tabled that are in this grouping are technical amendments that would be consequent on the passage of my amendment No. 59, which would insert a new provision on effectively replacing the mandatory information session with a provision requiring the sending of a prepaid registered post or recorded delivery statement to a person seeking information. I want to put on record that there seems to be some crossover between the two groupings.
