Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

This amendment arises from a procedural error that arose on Committee Stage, which led to the inadvertent deletion of section 80(3). The position is that on Committee Stage, while Government amendment No. 29, which provided for the deletion of a subsection in section 20 was withdrawn, amendment No. 84, which was related, and should also have been withdrawn, was agreed to. The purpose of the amendment under discussion therefore is to reinsert the original subsection. I regret any confusion caused and ask Members to support the amendment.
