I move amendment No. 1:

In page 8, between lines 4 and 5, to insert the following:"(v) in their capacity, engages in the provision of child-minding services for reward for any period of time".

I will be brief as we are short on time, so I will not repeat the points I made on Committee Stage. Senator Ó Clochartaigh and I have co-authored an amendment for this Stage to address the concerns the Minister raised about the wording of my initial amendment on Committee Stage. The amendments have been changed to make it clear what is intended to be covered, lest there be any doubt. It was only intended to cover professional childminders. The wording achieves that.
