Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

The reason they have been grouped together is that the Senator's amendment seeks to amend the old section. With regard to the proposal made in the amendment, we have consulted the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and its view is that the amendment should not be included in the Bill. The question would arise as to who one would license. It is something that would be dealt with in other legislation, if required. We do not believe they should be included. Everybody wishes to look after the consumer in this respect, but the amendment is not relevant in this legislation.
