I move amendment No. 139:

In page 210, line 4, to delete “subsection (1)” and substitute “subsection (1) or(5), as the case may be”.

These are intended as transitional provisions relating to the annual reporting process to the Taoiseach for the independent examiner. The matters to be included in the annual report are enumerated and include reviews of specified security enactments. The amendments are proposed so that the annual report may be added to the report for the following year where the independent examiner comes into existence with less than six months remaining of the year. If this occurs, the amendment will allow the independent examiner to submit the first annual report for the remaining period of the year concerned with the report for the first full year of the operation of the examiner.
