I move amendment No. 129:

In page 91, line 6, after “notice” to insert the following: “and in such an instance the Commission shall provide a written explanation for this decision to be given to the Minister and the Houses of the Oireachtas”.

The amendment seeks to insert the phrase "and in such an instance the Commission shall provide a written explanation for this decision to be given to the Minister and the Houses of the Oireachtas”. It intends to provide a layer of accountability by ensuring that when the commission decides to withdraw guidance materials or an advisory notice, it must explain the decision to the Minister and the Oireachtas.
