I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide in the public interest for the reporting to Dáil Éireann by all Government Ministers on proposals to reduce charges applied by Government Departments and agencies to consumers and businesses; to provide for the direction by Ministers to key regulatory authorities to publish proposals to cut charges applied by such authorities to consumers and businesses and to make provision for connected matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
