I move amendment No. 1 to Seanad amendment No. 22:

To insert the following new subsection after subsection (3)"(4) The Minister shall publish a new Regulatory Impact Analysis of this Act prior to its commencement.".

Given that it is so long since the Bill was published, the Minister of State might not recall that a regulatory impact assessment was published at the time of its publication. The purpose of this amendment is to seek the publication of a new regulatory impact assessment, given the number of amendments that have been processed since the Bill was published, to assess how the final product will work vis-à-visthe first draft of the Bill. Perhaps the Minister of State would comment on that.
