Lynn Ruane (Independent) | Oireachtas source

Amendment No. 19 refers to the new Dáil amendment No. 173 concerning a review of the operation of the Act, which is an extremely welcome amendment. My amendment would insert a new subsection requiring that not less than six months following the laying of the report before each House of the Oireachtas, the Minister shall make himself or herself available to the relevant joint Oireachtas committee for the purpose of discussing the report. I envisage that the current Minister would, of course, be happy to do that but would like to see it as a legal obligation on all future Ministers.
