Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-12-08
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

While funding is the sole purpose of the Bill, a number of amendments of a technical nature are required. I will briefly provide Senators with details of the amendments involved. Section 1 amends section 5 of the principal Act to provide funding for expenditure incurred by the commission during the period of three years from 1 January 2022. The amount of funding for that period is capped at €462.505 million. Section 2 is a standard form provision and sets out the Short Title, collective citation and commencement date for the Bill.
I commend this Bill to the House. I very much look forward to discussing it with my Seanad colleagues.
