Michael Ahern (Cork East, Fianna Fail)

I will not accept this amendment as it would result in retaining the requirement that notice of a delegation under section 4 of the principal Act be published in Iris Oifigiúil. This requirement has been burdensome and of questionable value. Senators opposed may wish to note the Information Commissioner concurs with this view and has also proposed the deletion of this requirement, as outlined by Senator Leyden.
