Dan Boyle (Green Party)

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Noel Ahern, to the House. I wish to inform Senators that there is an error in the first printed version of the Bill as amended by the Seanad on Committee Stage. In accordance with Committee Stage amendment No. 84 which was agreed by the House, section 80(3) of the Bill should have been deleted. It was retained in the Bill in error, however, when it was first printed after Committee Stage. A reprinted version of the Bill was circulated to all Senators yesterday.

I remind the House that each Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except for the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. I should also point out that on Report Stage each amendment must be seconded.
