I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, line 15, to delete “, other than Part 3,”.

I apologise on behalf of the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, and the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Michael D'Arcy, who took the Bill to this Stage. They were unavailable this morning due to budgetary commitments.

This grouping covers all of the amendments to sections 1, 23 and 25. It was intended that the Bill would be enacted in advance of the Prospectus Regulation coming into force on 21 July 2019. As the commencement date originally set has passed, sections 1, 23 and 25 must be updated. Therefore, I propose the removal of the specific commencement order for Part 3 from section 1 of the Bill and to update references to the commencement of this Bill in sections 23 and 25 to take account of the changes made to section 1.
