I thank the Deputies for facilitating the Bill through Committee Stage today. I wish to take the opportunity to inform the House that I expect to bring forward some amendments on Report Stage. They are in respect of sections 1 and 6 and a new section to be inserted. The new section under consideration is in respect of the recovery of costs by the Central Bank of Ireland regarding the operation of the Coin National Analysis Centre. This amendment arises from the ECB opinion on the Bill and is being worked on by the Department of Finance and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, OPC. The other amendments being considered are in respect of section 1, to make the commencement arrangements for Part 4, and section 6, to further refine the elements of the offences relating to possession and manufacture of materials.
