James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 6, lines 13 and 14, to delete "if the following condition is satisfied" and substitute "subject to subsection (2) of this section".

This, like many other of the amendments in the group, is a simple technical amendment. Amendment No. 6, for example, simply inserts a comma after "applicant", so I am sure that the Minister, Deputy Roche, would have no difficulty with that. Amendment No. 8 would delete "situate" and substitute "situated" in page six, line 32. There is inconsistency in the Bill, and the word "situated" would be more appropriate in that case. Amendment No. 12 is a technical amendment, too, which would help to tidy up the Bill, as would amendments Nos. 14 to 19, inclusive, with the exception of amendment No. 17, on which I shall speak later.

Amendments Nos. 21 and 28 contain different definitions and are, again, technical, as are the rest of the amendments, with the exception of amendment No. 53. They would improve the Bill by tidying it up and clarifying the section. Perhaps the Minister, Deputy Roche, has taken those amendments on board. I hope he has, because I have studied the Bill in great detail and I think there are some omissions there. The amendments are very simple and would not alter the meaning of the Bill.
