I thank the Deputy for those questions and I will deal with his last point first. The rationale is indeed to make it very clear from a constitutional perspective that the legislation is balancing constitutional rights but importantly, its objective is to uphold the social, common good which is obviously permitted. That is the purpose of extending the Long Title.
In response to the first question, amendment No. 16 is a drafting amendment to reflect Government amendment No. 2 which provides for "the Act of 2020". I am happy to confirm that.
