I move amendment No. 18:

In page 8, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:

“Report on operation of Act 7.The Act of 2016 is amended in Part 2 by inserting the following after section 13:
“13A.The Minister shall —
(a) not later than 2 years after this section comes into operation, commence a review of the operation of this Act, and

(b) not later than 12 months after the commencement of the review, make a report to each House of the Oireachtas of the findings made on the review and of the conclusions drawn from the findings.”.”.

The amendment will reinstate the old section, section 3, in Part 2, on the advice of the OPLA. It will make no substantive change but merely move its position in the Bill.
