I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:"Short title and commencement

1.(1) This Act may be cited as the Sport Ireland Act 2014.

(2) Part 4shall come into operation on the establishment day.".

This is a technical amendment recommended by the Office of the Attorney General. It is intended that all parts of the Bill shall commence on the same day. Nearly all the provisions of the Bill refer to Sport Ireland being established on the establishment day. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that Part 4 of the Bill, which relates to anti-doping powers, also comes into effect on the establishment day.
