It seems the Minister is correct. In effect, the amendment should be inserted at line 27. It seems to have been placed incorrectly. Effectively, the issue that is being addressed in section 4 is the issuing of refusals, so that is the section where the amendment would properly lie. Nonetheless, it would still be useful at this point, in order that we can go forward as constructively as possible in respect of Report Stage, for the Minister to indicate his perspective on the inclusion of requirements with a refusal. The correct placing of the amendment should be on line 27, following the issuing of a refusal. As regards the substantive issue, to facilitate effective discussion on an amendment on this issue on Report Stage, I would appreciate it if the Minister were to indicate his perspective on the inclusion of consequent actions along with the issuing of a refusal.
