The amendments in this grouping are all technical amendments to the Bill. Amendment No. 3 provides for a definition of the office of the chief deciding officer in section 2 of the Bill.

Amendment No. 9 allows for the Short Title “Office of the Chief Deciding Officer” to be used throughout the Bill rather than the longer title for this office set out in section 7.

Amendment No. 40 corrects an error in section 48 so that the staff are appropriately referred to as being "staff of the office of the chief deciding officer" rather than "staff of the chief deciding officer".

Amendments Nos. 8, 10, 28, 29 and 47 all update the reference to the former Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to take account of its change in name earlier this year to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform.

Amendments Nos. 54 and 55 are brought forward to correct an oversight in the titles of the table in Schedule 2. The first column is now expanded for clarity in the same way as the remaining columns in the table.
