Regulation of Providers of Building Works and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Motion

Acting Chairperson (Senator Gerry Horkan)

I welcome the Minister of State back to the House. He will be here for a while this afternoon.

A message has been received from Dáil Éireann concerning the amendments made by the Seanad to the Regulation of Providers of Building Works and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022. The message has been set down in the Order Paper. The list of the amendments made by the Seanad and considered by the Dáil has been circulated for the information of Members.

The Dáil considered and accepted those amendments. It also made an additional amendment consequential on the acceptance of Seanad amendment No. 48. I call on the Acting Leader to move the motion in respect of a consequential amendment.

Senator Jerry Buttimer

I move:

That Seanad Éireann agrees to the amendment made by the Dáil consequential on its agreement to Seanad amendment No. 48.

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Malcolm Noonan)

Government amendment No. 1 in Dáil Éireann to amendment No. 48 from Seanad Éireann is moved to correct a typographical error in the new section 97 of the Bill. A technical reference to the Act of 2004, which is the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, is substituted in place of an incorrect reference to the Act of 2003.

Question put and agreed to.

The Clerk to the Seanad will send a message to the Clerk of the Dáil certifying the determination of the Seanad.
