Section 9 amends section 40(1) of the Wildlife Act 1976, lines 17 to 21, page 12. It is a simple tidying-up exercise which updates the collective citations for fisheries legislation and replaces the reference to the Central Fisheries Board, which is now Inland Fisheries Ireland. Following further consultation with the Attorney General's office however, I have been informed that the changes proposed in section 9 were already included in the Inland Fisheries Act 2010, therefore I will bring an amendment on Report Stage to delete section 9 from the Bill.
