Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 29:

In page 24, after line 5, to insert the following:“(3) This Act shall come into operation on such day or days as may be fixed by order or orders made by the Minister for Justice and Equality, either generally or by reference to any particular purpose or provision, and different days may be so fixed for different purposes and different provisions.”.

As Deputies are well aware, the amendment is a standard provision that is particularly required in the Bill because of the court review provisions. As they will be aware, commencement of the court review provisions will need to await the completion of the rules of court which are expected to be in place in early autumn.
