I am quite happy to accept the 12 months. The suggestion of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and it members had been 13 months. I am quite happy to accept that. On my other amendment, it is obviously not the intention to place people in a lesser position than they would be in under the legislation without the amendment. I would like to look at that and see what implications it might have. I will be withdrawing amendment No. 33 and may return with it on Report Stage.
