Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 8, line 30, to delete "choses" and substitute "any chose".

These are technical amendments designed to introduce an element of consistency to the definitions section of the Bill. The Minister will be aware that other paragraphs in this section use singular or collectively singular nouns whereas "choses in action" or "proceeds" are unnecessarily plural. Since the more commonly used term is "chose in action", it would add uniformity and clarity and if the word "any" were inserted to define each term in the singular.
