I move amendment No. 9:

In page 20, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following subsection:

"(3) The Minister shall, within 3 months of the commencement of this Act, lay before each House of the Oireachtas, a report on eligibility criteria for the Early Childcare Supplement.".

This amendment is also important. While everybody recognises the benefit of the early child care supplement, it would be useful to have a report on the eligibility criteria laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas as soon as possible.
