Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

Amendment No. 23 proposes to delete section 13J(1)(a). Amendment No. 29 which I propose to discuss separately, proposes a new drafting with respect to this provision. Amendments Nos. 24 and 26 reflect the consequential renumbering resulting from the deletion of section 13J(1)(a). Amendment No. 25 is drafted on foot of consultation with the Parliamentary Counsel's office to take account of a minor drafting matter. Amendment No. 27 reflects the amended renumbering of amendment No. 23. I do not propose to accept amendment No. 28 as its intention is captured in that all ministerial directions will be required to be published in Iris Oifigiúil.
