I move amendment No. 1:


In page 19, line 39, after "direction." to insert "The direction shall be published on the website of the Department of Transport.".
As the Minister's amendment is much superior to the one that I proposed, I will not press my amendment. The issue was about directives that the Minister might wish to publish and it arose following events in the past when directives were given in relation to Dublin Airport, but that is history. We discussed it at the earlier Stage. The Minister's formula to deal with the problem is much better than the one that is in my amendment and I will not push mine.
The issue, as the Minister's amendment shows, was about security issues. My amendment is less sophisticated, that is, let us publish it some place, but the Minister has tackled the problem in a much more thorough way. I will withdraw amendment No. 1.
