Amendment No. 19 is in the names of Deputies Róisín Shortall and Catherine Murphy, who are not here to move it. The amendment requires the Minister to "commission an independent review of this Part 4", which relates to the purchase of sexual services and to "make a report" to the House on its effectiveness under various headings. As the commissioning of an independent review would result in potential cost implications, this amendment could impose a charge on the Exchequer and must therefore be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 179(3).
