Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 7:

In page 11, after line 29, to insert the following subsection:

"(2) This Act (other than paragraphs (d) and (e) of section 3) shall come into operation on such day or days as the Minister may, by order or orders, appoint either generally or with reference to any particular purpose or provision, and different days may be so appointed for different purposes or different provisions.".

This amendment relates to inserting a commencement provision in the legislation. The reason for the introduction of a commencement provision is a courtesy to the EU Commission, as the measure has not received final approval.
