Vol. 390 No. 5

An Blascaod Mór National Historic Park Bill, 1989 [ Seanad ]: Committee and Final Stages.

Sections 1 and 2 agreed to.

SECTION 3.

The Taoiseach

I move amendment No.1:

In page 4, subsection (1), line 10, after "Minister" to insert "and after consultation, in any case where the Commissioners consider such consultation appropriate, with the Foundation".

This is a very simple amendment to meet the point of view expressed in the Seanad. I do not think it is really necessary but Senators were a bit concerned about it. The effect is to ensure that where the Commissioners of Public Works are making by-laws they will, if they feel it appropriate, consult with the Fondúireacht beforehand.

Amendment agreed to.

The Taoiseach

I move amendment No. 2:

In page 5, between lines 15 and 16 to insert the following subsection:

"(9) A by-law under this section shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made.".

This is to ensure that where the Commissioners of Public Works make by-laws they will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas so that any Deputies who have an interest in them will be able to see what is happening.

Amendment agreed to.

Section 3, as amended, agreed to.

Section 4 to 10, inclusive, agreed to.

Schedule agreed to.

Title agreed to.

Bill reported with amendments and passed.
