That could be changed to "not later than three months". It gives too much latitude and flexibility to Government in this area. We owe it to workers. I signed a charter recently in which Sinn Féin declared that it wants an end to the exploitative practices in place. Allowing 12 months flexibility is far too long and I believe it should be reduced. If Deputy O'Dea agreed to that amendment, I would row in behind it.
