I move amendment No. 2:

In page 11, after line 34, to insert the following:

Report on establishing a social welfare adequacy commission 21. The Minister shall carry out a review on establishing a social welfare adequacy commission in order to ensure social welfare rates meet the Minimum Essential Standard of Living (MESL) to study the effect that adequacy of social welfare rates could have on addressing poverty levels and that the report shall be presented to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Social Protection ahead of Budget 2025.”.

To clarify, can I also speak on amendments Nos. 3 and 4 at this point or are they separate?
