Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

The Ceann Comhairle is going very quickly. We want to facilitate that, but we did deal with the transitional provisions in amendment No. 228 previously. Will the Minister of State indicate when it is intended to bring various sections into force? When will the Bill be enacted? Will it be before the end of the year? I know the authority is set up, but are there certain sections he expects to bring into force first?

Can he provide any clarity on this? Obviously, we have transitional provisions under this set of amendments.
