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 the amendment. Also on Report Stage, each amendment must be seconded. I welcome the Minister.

Amendment No. 1 is a Government amendment and it is also in the name of Senator van Turnhout. This amendment arises out of Committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 form a composite proposal and may be discussed together by agreement.
