Cecilia Keaveney (Fianna Fail)

): I welcome the Minister for Justice and Law Reform, Deputy Dermot Ahern. Before we commence, I remind Members that except for the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment, Senators may speak only once on Report Stage.

Amendment No. 1 is in the names of Senators Bacik, Hannigan, White, McCarthy, Ryan and Prendergast. I call on Senator Bacik to move the amendment.
