Private Business. - The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (Charters Amendment) Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

I am honoured to bring this Bill before the House, although I defer to the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I wonder who the Leas-Chathaoirleach was in 1939 when the original Bill was laid out. We are delighted that this Bill enjoys the support of all parties. It mentions people of 25 years of age which is somewhat limiting. I hope we can change this because it would rule out many younger applicants. There is also the matter of direction which might cause problems on the basis of equality legislation. Those are details we can correct in these Houses.
