I move:
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Children Act, 2001 to permit the publication and broadcasting of reports and images identifying or likely to identify persons accused or convicted in proceedings for certain offences against children and to provide for related matters.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Is there a seconder?

I second the proposal.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

Next Friday, 13 November, since Tuesday is all blocked off.

The Senator's point is well made. Is that agreed? Agreed.
