I move amendment No. 19:

In page 14, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:

"(5) (a) The Commission shall not establish or implement a safety framework until after a public consultation process has taken place in respect of the safety framework.

(b) In paragraph (a) 'public consultation process' means an invitation by the Commission to the public for submissions, within a specified time limit, on a draft of the proposed safety framework where such invitation is made by means of a notice to that effect published in a newspaper circulating within the State and published in the prescribed manner.".
