Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

The second group, amendments Nos. 2, 4, 5, 17 and 20, consists of technical amendments which were required in the context of amendment No. 17. This amendment provided for the inclusion in the Bill of a new section 46 which amended the definition of the term "bilateral agreement", as contained in the Adoption Act 2010, to ensure the definition was consistent with the provision on bilateral agreements in section 73 of the Adoption Act. The amendment is technical in nature. Amendments Nos. 2, 4 and 5 amend section 1 which deals with collective citations. The amendments reflect those changes to the Bill which affect collective citations in respect of the Child Care Acts and Adoption Acts. Amendment No. 20 is an amendment to include the Adoption Act 2010 in the Long Title.
