Amendment No. 1, which Deputy Collins mentioned, proposes that the provisions pertaining to sections 4, 5 and 6 would not proceed without the introduction of adequate affordable child care provision and would be reviewed within six months of the enactment of the Bill. The proposed amendment would impose an external conditional element on the commencement of these sections and therefore the amendment must be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 131(1) as it is in conflict with the principle of the Bill as read a Second Time.
