Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2010: Report and Final Stages
4:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
I wish we had James Joyce to help us. He would have made great play out of this. I intend to accept the Labour Party amendments for the sake of consistency in the use of technical language. There may well be a debate on the use of a hyphen, the Latin origins or on whether the word is correct. However, the intent is clear. The advice I have received is that accepting the amendments will lead to the use of proper and consistent technical language. As such, I am happy to accept them.
