I move amendment No. 90:

In page 38, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following subsection:

"(8) Where an order under section 2 in respect of the commencement of this section is proposed to be made, a draft of the order, shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas and the order shall not be made until a resolution approving of the draft has been passed by each such House.".

This is a fallback position because other amendments have not been accepted. The amendment proposes that when section 55 commences, the order must come before and be affirmed by a positive resolution of each House of the Oireachtas.
