I move amendment No. 16:

In page 5, line 35, to delete “as soon as practicable” and substitute “within thirty days”.

While I acknowledge that placing time limits on things sometimes can be impractical, one concern of Deputy Mac Lochlainn is that sometimes - not always and I do not wish to cast aspersions on members of the Garda - gardaí can cause undue delays when providing information or data to GSOC investigators. Sinn Féin wishes to ensure this is not the case and can never be the case by including a time limit. The Minister of State obviously will outline his reasons for not accepting the time limit but I give notice that this is something to which Sinn Féin may come back on Report Stage.
