I move amendment No. 6:

In page 11, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:“Repeal of enactments
7.(1) The enactments specified in column (3) of Schedule 2are repealed to the extent specified in column (4) of that Schedule.
(2) The repeals effected by subsection (1) shall not apply in respect of complaints or disputes made, presented or referred to a rights commissioner under an enactment specified in column (3) of Schedule 2before the commencement of Part 4.

(3) The repeal of section 11 of the Act of 1973 effected by subsection (1) shall not apply in relation to a dispute referred to the Employment Appeals Tribunal under that Act before the commencement of Part 4.
(4) The repeal of section 11 of the Act of 1977 effected by subsection (1) shall not apply in relation to a claim for redress under that Act brought before the commencement of Part 4.
(5) This section shall come into operation upon the commencement of Part 4.".

Amendment No. 6 is required to clarify the transitional arrangements that will apply in respect of complaints under relevant enactments. The amendment simplifies the arrangement that will apply to complaints under minimum notice and unfair dismissals legislation. The new arrangements provided for in the Bill will not apply to complaints under the aforementioned Acts where those complaints have been formally brought prior to the commencement of Part 4 of the Bill, when enacted. All such complaints referred after the commencement of Part 4 will be subject to the reformed procedures.
Amendment No. 83 is necessary to ensure that all relevant provisions within other individual enactments and statutory instruments which are provided for in Schedule 2 will be repealed upon the commencement of Part 4 of the Bill.
In simple terms, this is providing that the appeal procedures of the new provisions will apply once they are in place.
