Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 5, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:

"(4) Notwithstanding subsection (3), section 16 shall not be commenced until at least 3 years have elapsed after the commencement of section 10.".

A category of people will be affected by this Bill. They will have to apply to be examined and assessed to determine if they meet the terms of the Bill. We suggest that the part affecting them should not come in until it is properly commenced to ensure there is no vacuum between the commencement of the rest of the legislation and the section that affects them.
