I move amendment No. 2:

In page 3, line 25, to delete "him" and substitute "the person".

I have retabled this amendment and I hope the Minister of State may have reconsidered the position. The Minister of State has said that if he accepted this amendment he would have to amend the Bill itself and previous legislation. I do not accept this. The words "the person" are being inserted instead of "him". I do not see how this requires amending legislation that already says "him". I do not accept the reasoning there. I do not think it will cause any extra work to the Department were this amendment to be accepted.
