I move amendment No. 5:

In page 17, line 37, after "giving" to insert "full".

The Minister's amendment may deal with some of the issues I am raising. The purpose of amendment No. 5 is to give the Minister greater discretion to compensate for the removal of the power to modify Acts. Regarding amendment No. 6, we believe the subsection, as it stands, would be of dubious constitutionality as it allows the Minister to amend the law by regulations and we refer, in that regard, to the recent Supreme Court decision on Mulcreevy v. the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
