Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).
5:00 pm
Feargal Quinn (Independent)
I move amendment No. 4:
In page 6, lines 1 to 4, to delete subsection (8) and substitute the following:
"(8) Parts 1 and 3 of this Act, together with sections 33, 34 and 35 and Schedule 5, shall come into operation on enactment. Part 2, together with sections 30, 31 and 32 and Schedules 1 to 4, inclusive, shall come into operation on such day as the Ministermay appoint by order, but only after the Ceann Comhairle has received from the Electronic Voting Commission a satisfactory certification of the proposed electronic voting system under the Commission's terms of reference."
With confidence that the Minister will reconsider the amendment overnight, I withdraw the amendment until Report Stage.
