James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 20:

In page 14, line 18, to delete "shall come" and substitute "comes".

The use of active voice in the legislation was recommended by the Law Reform Commission in its report on legislative drafting. It is important that the style of our legislation should represent best practice and be made more readable for the public. Amendments Nos. 26, 29 and 31 are technical amendments designed to introduce the active voice. As the preceding sections use the active voice, my amendment proposes consistency in the Bill.
