Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

These amendments delete the words "for permission" from the phrase "applicant for permission". In this case the phrase is clearer with the words "for permission" in it. I stated previously that I did not believe this achieved the objective Senator Bannon was trying to achieve, which was to make things a little shorter and more concise. There is no added value and some tiny ambiguity is introduced if I were to delete the words "for permission". Although I gave the matter consideration I do not propose to accept the amendments.
