Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, line 20, to delete "This Act" and substitute "Subject to subsection (3), this Act".

This issue was discussed on Committee Stage when the Minister indicated that she was prepared to introduce appropriate amendments on Report Stage.

Amendments Nos. 1 to 4 have the effect of ensuring that all sections of the Bill will take effect within one year of enactment. The Minister hopes that such can take place sooner, in all probability towards the end of this year. I do not propose to accept the other amendments, as the Minister's amendment covers the point and issue.
