I move amendment No. 156:

In page 75, subsection (1), line 11, after "as" to insert "an Coiste Náisiúnta Seirbhísí Uisce Tuathúil or, in the English language,".

The amendment seeks to insert the Irish title of the committee. This issue arose recently during our discussions of the An Bord Bia Bill when the Minister for Agriculture and Food, while accepting the spirit of an amendment tabled by me, was, for various reasons best known to himself, unwilling to accept it. The situation which arises now is different in that the Minister of State has tabled an alternative amendment.

While I accept the similarities of the two amendments, perhaps the Minister of State would elaborate on his amendment. It is obvious he intends to include the Irish and English titles of the committee in the Bill.
