Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Yes, but it originated from a Committee Stage amendment tabled by Senator Averil Power from the Fianna Fáil Party. There is a new regime in this office. Senator Power proposed an amendment which allows the Minister of the day, in making regulations on the use of people to impose a requirement that they be Garda vetted. The purpose of my amendment, on advice from the Parliamentary Counsel, is to give the Garda its full title, An Garda Síochána, and does not change the substance of the proposed amendment. I thank the Senator for her amendment.
