The amendment suggests the insertion of a sunset clause to this Bill. I support this amendment because the insertion of a sunset clause is vital especially when it is dubious how the sections that deal with hearsay evidence appeared in this Bill. There is no such clause for this Bill because the Government wants to save the banks, bankers and vulture funds.
I am appealing to the Minister to allow this sunset clause and amendment to go through. That is why there is no sunset clause in the Bill.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2020-07-30, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
