Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

These are technical amendments. Amendment No. 33 inserts a new subsection which provides the requirement to refuse to issue a licence to a partner in a partnership, if any other principal officer of the partnership is not a fit or proper person, only applies where a partner applies for a licence as a property service employer and not as an independent contractor.

The other amendments are consequential drafting amendments.
