I move amendment No. 21:

In page 6, before section 5, to insert the following new section:

"5.—The Minister shall, within three months of the commencement of this Act, lay before each House of the Oireachtas, an information report detailing—

(a) number of persons expected to benefit per annum,

(b) the estimates of amounts that will be transferred out of and to be received by the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) over the next 5 and 10 years,

(c) if the legislation will apply retrospectively, if so how many persons will benefit, what are the expected amounts in terms of benefits that will be paid by the SIF, amounts that will be transferred from SIF, and the amounts the SIF will receive.".
