I thank Mr. Justice Mahon. I see in the report that there are three specific issues the ODF has identified, and which the Minister needs to address. I will not call them out but these are identical to issues the committee has heard previously from the ODF. In some of the case studies we have seen, the 12-month rule has hampered the ability of some to seek resolution through the ODF.

The Ombudsman for the Defence Forces gave the Minister draft amendments to the legislation, which he is now considering. When was this submitted and is there any timeline for when the response is due from the Minister?
