Before we commence, I remind Members that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on it. Each amendment on Report Stage must be seconded.

I welcome the Minister, Deputy Richard Bruton. Amendments Nos. 1 and 21 form a composite proposal and may be discussed together.
