Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

While I understand the Senator's concerns, I can confirm that all the substantive procedures will continue to be subject to the regulations. This is a technical amendment which sets out to differentiate between procedural and substantive changes. I gave the example of the current requirement to get the approval of the Houses for a proposal to change the scale of a map. All the changes as laid out in the regulations, of which I can make a copy available to the Senator, will remain under the positive approval regulation.

Question put and agreed to.

Sections 15 to 17, inclusive, agreed to.

SECTION 18.

Question proposed: "That section 18 stand part of the Bill."
