I move amendment No. 69:

In page 37, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following: An tOmbudsman Oidhreachta agus Cultúir

14.The Minister shall, no later than 6 months following the enactment of this Act, have commissioned, published, and laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas, a report on the merits of, and logistical requirements for, establishing An tOmbudsman Oidhreachta agus Cultúir as an independent office to examine complaints from members of the public who believe that public bodies are failing in their duties under this Act and other legislation to protect the shared heritage and cultural rights of the people of this island, to monitor compliance with such obligations by public bodies, and to issue recommendations for improving the protection of heritage and cultural rights.”.
