Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I am disappointed that the Minister will not accept my amendment. He knows that the Law Reform Commission previously criticised the wording of legislation and asked that legislators keep this point in mind when drafting legislation. This particular wording is a classic case and I would expect the commission to point out that this is not the wording it would have preferred. I have to accept the Minister's word on this, but I am disappointed by his decision.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
