The Bill makes legislative provision concerning the Tax Appeals Commission and a new EU Prospectus Regulation. Members will recall that a joint committee conducted pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill earlier in the year. Last June, the committee issued recommendations that I hope assisted in finalising the Bill before us.

I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, to the meeting. Six amendments have been tabled for consideration, all of which have been submitted by the Minister.
