I may have some proposed amendments to table on Report and Final Stages. They refer to the following: a change to the Long Title to correct the reference to the Health and Safety Authority; an amendment to shorten section 25 of the Bill; and an amendment to provide for developing the devolvement of the administration of the pensions for existing pensioners of Forfás to a relevant body and to provide for the devolvement of the administration of pensions for retired staff of the county enterprise boards to a relevant body. My officials are currently working with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to finalise these amendments.
In addition I may have further amendments of a drafting nature relating to transfer of staff provisions in respect of Forfás staff being transferred to various bodies. My officials are currently consulting with relevant parties to finalise this matter. If amendments are necessary I propose to make such amendments on Report Stage.
