Jim Higgins (Fine Gael)

There appears to be something wrong with subsection (3), which reads:

In each year a statement of estimates of the Commission shall be–

(a) presented to Dáil Éireann, on a motion that Dáil Éireann take note of the statement, by a member of the Commission who is a member of Dáil Éireann, or any other member of Dáil Éireann nominated by the Commission for that purpose, and

(b) when Dáil Éireann has taken note of the statement in accordance with paragraph (a), furnished by the Secretary General to the Minister not later than 30 days before the presentation by the Minister to Dáil Éireann of the Estimates of the Receipts and Estimates of the Expenditure in that year.

While paragraph (a) is stand alone and makes sense, paragraph (b) does not hang together and appears inconclusive.
