Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 4, line 11, after "Minister" to insert ", subject to the consent of the Minister for Finance".

We tabled a small number of amendments on this Stage not to seek in any way a radical altering of the Bill, but to be helpful in terms of its drafting. The legislation is useful in that it does not have the collection of verbiage contained in much legislation going through this House. It is clear, to the point and useful.
