I move amendment No. 15:

In page 31, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:"(2) The Minister shall, within six months of a report being submitted to him or her by the Commission, outline to each House of the Oireachtas, the actions the Minister has taken following on from any recommendations made in such a report.".

The commission publishes annual reports and, given its powers, one hopes it will make recommendations on various policy areas.

The Minister of the day should respond within six months of the annual report being presented on the Department's views on the recommendations made and with an action plan. This would ensure that would happen.
