Phil Prendergast (Labour)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following subsections:

"(2) This Act, other than the provisions referred to in subsection (3), shall come into operation on its passing.

(3) Schedule 1, insofar as it inserts Article 4A in the St. James's Hospital Board (Establishment) Order 1971 and in the Beaumont Hospital Board (Establishment) Order 1977, shall come into operation on such date as may be specified by Order made by the Minister, provided that a draft of such Order is approved by both Houses of the Oireachtas by resolution.".
