Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 33:

In page 17, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:

“(9) Where an order is proposed to be made under this section, a draft of the order shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas and the order shall not be made until a resolution approving of the draft has been passed by each such House.

(10) Where, after the passing of this Act, a company (within the meaning of the Companies Acts), or other body, becomes a public body within the meaning of section 6(1) (other than by virtue of an order made under subsection (3)(b) or (7)(a)), the obligations under this Act shall apply to that company or body, on and from a date that is not later than 6 months after it becomes a public body under this Act other than where the Minister makes an order under subsection (3)(a) declaring that subsection (1) shall not apply, in whole or in part, to the company or body concerned.”.
