I thank the Minister of State for his response to those amendments and to the earlier two amendments. Regarding amendment No. 49, I was particularly struck by the three-year period. I accept that sanctions could be imposed for minor matters. A registered person could receive successive sanctions spanning a number of years which would end up not being published. If someone has received successive sanctions, that is the type of information to which people would like to have access. I would raise that limitation in particular, given there is already a threshold in terms of complaints being made, investigated and resulting in minor sanctions. While a few minor sanctions might accrue over a few years, there could be many more issues behind those that have not resulted in minor sanctions. The three-year period could be viewed as wiping the slate clean, as such. What is the Minister of State’s view on that?
