I move amendment No. 33:

In page 37, line 24, to delete "90 days" and substitute "20 days".

Sections 35 and 37 deal with the decisions on an application for registration and a renewal of registration. Both sections specify "within a period of 90 days", beginning on the date of receipt of a fully completed application. Ninety days is a long time. What is the rationale for it? I presume the Minister of State's response will be that it does not have to be on day 90, it can be day 40, 50 or 60, but why 90 days? Is that comparable with any other type of registration process such as, for example, the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and so on? Where did the 90 days come from?
