Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (2 Jul 2008)

Noel Dempsey: The term "competent authority" does not appear in the Bill or in any of the Deputy's amendments, so there is no need to define it in section 2.

The latter will act on behalf of the Minister.

Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (2 Jul 2008)

Noel Dempsey: I move amendment No. 3: In page 12, line 23, to delete "section 24 and sections" and substitute "sections 24, 32 and". This is a technical amendment designed to catch all references to the word "subsidiary" in the amended Bill. It arises because of the inclusion of a reference to "any subsidiary" in amendment No. 59.
