I move amendment No. 4:

In page 10, subsection (1), line 30, after "public", where it secondly occurs, to insert "free or".

The provision in section 2 does not specifically require the Veterinary Council of Ireland to charge a fee for making information available to the public. However, by using the term "if any", it may seem appropriate to highlight the possibility of making information available for free rather than the current wording which puts the emphasis on a reasonable fee being charged.
