I only became aware of the Standing Order in question in the past couple of days and have asked the Oireachtas Library and Research Service how many reviews are submitted. It might be interesting to see that number.

If the review happens after a year, that is fair enough, but this amendment would not have an impact on the review. The review could happen and we could look at it again in three years. I do not see what is the problem. If it is the case that the legislation is working well after a year, it should work well after three years. It may work okay after a year but a problem might arise that could be picked up at a later stage. It is important to have a review mechanism.
