    TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014 COMHAIRLE CONTAE LÚ LOUTH COUNTY COUNCIL COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS The Arms of the County, as granted by the Chief Herald to the Council in 1976, are derived as follows:- “Vert a besant charged with a Dexter Hand aversant coupled at the wrist proper” This is the description of the lower part of the shield which is coloured green (vert) and on which is imposed a heraldic expression of the Dextera Dei or Right Hand of God from Muireadach’s Cross at Monasterboice. As on the latter, the armorial design shows the hand against a circular background or nimbus. This section of the Arms represents in particular the rural (or County Health District) part of the County. Chief Sable, two ancient ships, sails set argent The top part of the Arms is black in colour commemorating Muirthemne, the old Irish name of the sea off the County Louth Coast, and which translated into English means the “darkness of the sea”. The ships are inspired by the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Drogheda, which includes a ship anchored at a quayside. Each ship can be taken to represent respectively the Borough of Drogheda and the Urban District of Dundalk, both areas comprised within the administrative County. The ships are also representational of the fact that the County has always been a great centre of trade and commerce. The Crest The Crest incorporates a sword, the symbol of administration, surrounded by ears of barley. This design at once illustrates the nature of the Coat of Arms as a symbol of a civic administration, and the importance of agriculture in the life of the County.

    Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010 SECTION 1 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order on the grounds that it would expand the scope of the Bill. [825]Amendment No. 1 not moved. Senator Dominic Hannigan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, subsection (2), line 14, after “Minister” to insert “for Foreign Affairs”. The purpose of the amendment is to insert “for Foreign Affairs” after “Minister” because there is no definition of “Minister” in the Bill. Senator Dan Boyle: I thank the Labour Party Senators for proposing this amendment. I believe it is a drafting improvement and I am quite happy to accept it. Amendment agreed to. Question proposed: “That section 1, as amended, stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I seek an explanation, although perhaps it will not be possible to provide one. Did I understand the Cathaoirleach to state amendment No. 1 was ruled out of order because it caused a charge on the Exchequer? An Cathaoirleach: No, it was ruled out of order for expanding the scope of the Bill. Senator David Norris: I see. I thank the Cathaoirleach. Question put and agreed to. SECTION 2 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 3 is ruled out of order as it would expand the scope of the Bill. Amendment No. 3 not moved. Question proposed: “That section 2 stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I do not mean to be pestiferous but how can a deletion expand the scope of a Bill? Surely it would contract it.
