I move amendment No. 13:
In page 9, line 24, to delete "5 years" and substitute "3 years".
The two amendments are very straightforward and I simply felt it appropriate, given the weight, importance and complexity of the legislation, that it would be reviewed sooner. I am proposing that after the establishment of the commission, a review would take place after three years rather than five years. The report would be allowed six months for placing before the Houses of the Oireachtas rather than 12 months.
