This was also accepted by the Seanad. Section 106 is the result of an Opposition that was proposed on Report Stage in Dáil Éireann by Deputy Lawless. This amendment was accepted by the Government as a pragmatic way to address the issue of capturing the web. We have accepted Deputy Lawless's amendment by calling for a report to be published on the feasibility of establishing a digital legal deposit scheme for capturing the web within 12 months of the enactment of the Bill. The text of the section currently reads, "Within twelve months of the enactment of this Bill". However, the legal drafter in the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel has pointed out that technically this should read, "Within twelve months of the enactment of the Act". Therefore, I am calling for the acceptance of a minor technical amendment to correct the oversight and ensure that the text is legally sound. This was the result of an Opposition amendment that was proposed by Deputy Lawless. This amendment is accepted by the Government.
