I agree with Deputy Fleming that there should be transparency about the number of determinations made under the delayed publication provisions as set out in section 14. I have ensured that transparency does apply in the Bill by including a requirement in section 25 that information relating to any determination made under section 14, or enforced during any year, be included in the annual report. An annual report relating to the operation of the Act is required to be prepared by the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPOC, and must be laid before each House of the Oireachtas within six months of the end of the year to which the report relates. I hope that meets the Deputy’s requirements.
