John Brassil (Kerry, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 19, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:“(2) Within 18 months of the enactment of this Act, the Minister shall in consultation with the Commission establish if it is sufficiently resourced to enforce the new powers conferred upon the body.”.”.

I move the amendment in light of the increased workload the regulator is likely to have to undertake. My party is concerned that he would not be sufficiently resourced to execute his functions as intended.
