I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following: “(2) The Civil Registration Acts 2004 to 2018 and Part 3may be cited together as the Civil Registration Acts 2004 to 2019.”.

This a technical amendment to update the citation provision for the Civil Registration Acts consequent on the changes introduced in the Bill. The combined effect of amendments Nos. 2 to 4, inclusive, is to provide that the commencement order for Part 3, which amends the Civil Registration Act 2004, will be subject to consultation with my colleague, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection. The rationale for this is that the Bill will amend legislation for which that Minister has primary responsibility.
