I move amendment No. 10:

In page 25, after line 37, to insert the following: “Report on provision of supports to bereaved children

22. The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas regarding the adequacy of supports provided to bereaved children, with particular reference to the children of lone-parent families, where a child’s parents were not married, in a civil partnership, or cohabiting on the date of death of the bereaved parent.”.

I am going to withdraw the amendment based on the Minister's commitment to engage on the topic.
