Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I concur with the point made by Senator Bacik. I draw a parallel between this legislation and a Bill passed in the House around 18 months ago on the establishment of a national transport authority. The latter Bill included a clause prescribing that the new organisation publish a strategy to ensure the objectives set out in the legislation were implemented. Senators frequently raise the long delay which occasionally arises between the passing of legislation and its commencement. The proposal in the amendment could bridge this gap and ensure the important objectives of the Bill are better implemented.
