Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 11:

In page 3, before section 2, to insert the following new section:

"2. The Minister shall, as soon as may be after the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before both Houses of the Oireachtas a report on the impact of the discontinuation of the diet supplement.".

When will the new scheme come into effect? In the meantime, while obviously continuing with those on the existing scheme, will we be unable to accept any new applicants? How long will it be until the Minister receives the report he has commissioned and, in the meantime, will people be excluded?
