I move amendment No. 1:

In page 4, between lines 33 and 34, to insert the following:

“(a) by the insertion of a new subsection after subsection (1):

“(2) Any insured person who has paid a relevant increase over a continuous period of 10 years shall have their age of entry adjusted to 35 years if they continue to remain insured.”,”.

This has been discussed on Committee Stage. My amendment proposes an acknowledgement that a person would not be penalised for taking out lifetime community rating. The Minister agreed to consider this amendment. He said this could be achieved by regulation but we have concerns about the particular aspect. The Minister said he would give me his response on Report Stage.
