Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 12, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:

"(4) The making of submissions by a local authority under regulations under this section or under section 19A shall be a reserved function.".

This amendment speaks for itself. We are calling for the making of submissions by a local authority to be a reserved function in order that there would be a role for councillors.
