Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 37, lines 33 to 35, to delete subsection (3), and substitute the following new subsection:

"(3) A hearing before a health committee shall be held otherwise than in public, unless—

(a) the registrant requests that all or part of the hearing be held in public, and

(b) the committee is satisfied that it would be appropriate in the circumstances to hold the hearing or part of the hearing otherwise than in public.".

I am learning from the Taoiseach, who stole the clothes of Deputy Joe Higgins lately.
