I move amendment No. 55:

In page 25, line 3, after “shall” to insert “publish on its website and”.

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that the ministerial guidelines are published online. For the purposes of transparency and openness, it is very important that people can access them. Amendment No. 56 is similar in ensuring ready online access in terms of the publication of the guidelines. The purpose of amendment No. 57 is to ensure that they are published to the fullest extent possible online. Amendments Nos. 65 to 67, inclusive, are similar. I do not see why there would be an issue with this. I can understand why it might not have made it into the original draft, but I believe it is a good provision to have and I hope the Minister of State will support.
