Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I move amendment No. 23:

In page 15, line 27, after "Oireachtas" to insert "or of a local authority".

I made the case for this amendment on Committee Stage and many Members will have been surprised by the arguments I put forward. I did not expect to obtain support in the House, but I thought the case I made then would be considered. In light of the fact that the Minister has not tabled an amendment, I would welcome his views on the case I made on Committee Stage.
