Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 8:

In page 18, before section 28, to insert the following new section:

"The Minister shall, within 6 months of the commencement of this Act, prepare and lay before the Houses of the Oireachtas, a report on the progress of his proposal to develop a second tier payment.".

As time is pressing, I will ask the Minister to comment on his proposal in respect of the second tier payment.
