I move amendment No. 90:

In page 93, line 16, after "Health" to insert "and the Data Protection Commissioner".

This amendment provides that the Data Protection Commissioner shall be consulted when regulations providing for the disabled drivers and disabled passengers fuel grant are made. This will assure the Data Protection Commissioner and the public that the data protection protocols contained in the regulations are of the highest standard. My officials are drafting regulations to introduce the necessary legislative underpinning for the fuel grant. They have been working with officials from the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner and will continue that work. I intend to sign the regulations shortly after the Bill is enacted.
