While funding is the sole purpose of the Bill, a number of amendments of a technical nature are required. I will briefly provide Senators with details of the amendments involved. Section 1 amends section 5 of the principal Act to provide funding for expenditure incurred by the commission during the period of three years from 1 January 2022. The amount of funding for that period is capped at €462.505 million. Section 2 is a standard form provision and sets out the Short Title, collective citation and commencement date for the Bill.

I commend this Bill to the House. I very much look forward to discussing it with my Seanad colleagues.
