I move amendment No. 1:
The amendment seeks to define the functions mentioned in the legislation as those contained in the Human Rights Commission Act 2000 and the Employment Equality Act 1998. The Bill refers at a later stage to functions vested in the organisations which will be combined under the legislation but it is important that the functions are defined in the definitions section.
In page 6, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:" "functions" are defined as the functions contained in the Human Rights Commission Act 2000 and the Employment Equality Act 1998;".
