The section proposed to amend the powers of regulations. It will give the Minister the power to introduce regulations. This previously lay with the ombudsman council. I am curious about why the Minister is taking on these powers. Deputy McGrath tabled an amendment to previous legislation regarding one of the powers in respect of the maximum award to a complainant. Where do the powers rest when the section is enacted?
