I move amendment No. 22:

In page 43, line 16, to delete “by voluntary bodies”.

The effect of amendments Nos. 22 and 23 to section 59(4) is to bring greater clarity to the provision enabling monitoring arrangements to be imposed on a person to whom assistance is given under section 59. There will be no change to the effect of section 59(4) as a result of the changes proposed but there will be greater clarity with regard to the monitoring arrangements that the agency may make. The provision will enable the agency to make such arrangements as it considers appropriate to monitor the use of grant aid by persons and the provision of services where the person provides services directly to a child. These changes are consistent with alterations made on Committee Stage.
