This is a Seanad Bill which has been amended by the Dáil. In accordance with Standing Order 118, it is deemed to have passed its First, Second and Third Stages in the Seanad and is placed on the Order Paper for Report Stage. On the question, "That the Bill be received for final consideration," the Minister may explain the purpose of the two amendments made by the Dáil. This is looked upon as the report of the Dáil amendments to the Seanad. For the convenience of Senators, the Cathaoirleach has arranged for the printing and circulation to them of the amendments. A Senator may contribute once on Report Stage. I remind Senators that the only matters that may be discussed are the amendments made by the Dáil. I welcome the Minister for Justice and Equality and ask him to speak on the subject matter of amendments Nos. 1 and 2.
