John Cummins (Waterford, Fine Gael)

Government amendments Nos. 1 and 2 amend section 1 to provide that Part 2 comes into operation on the day immediately following the date of the passing of the Bill.

Part 2 amends the Act of 2024 and the amendments will not have effect until the relevant sections of the Act of 2024 that they are amending are commenced. By commencing the amendments now, it means that when an order is made to commence a section of the Act of 2024 that is amended by this Bill, the section, as amended, will be commenced.
