I move amendment No. 37:

In page 12, line 6, to delete “Sections 4and 9” and substitute “Sections 4, 9, 10* and 16** (other than paragraph (a)(i))”.

The Bill, as published, provides that provisions in section 4 of the Bill which deal with the invalidity pension and those in section 9 which deal with the treatment benefit will be subject to commencement orders.

The amendment provides that the provisions on councillors’ PRSI contributions in amendment No. 4 and habitual residence in amendment No. 9 will also be subject to commencement orders, with the exception of paragraph (a)(i) of the habitual residence provision which will come into effect on enactment of the Bill.
