I fully support this amendment as well. It is an issue I raised in the Dáil with the Minister of State. The timeframe is way too short and is not going to capture comprehensively the absolutely obscene profits made during that period. I note the Minister of State has said he received legal advice prior to December 2022, on extending that period. The legal advice specified that it was an issue of retrospectively applying a measure like this. Did he also seek legal advice about extending it beyond June 2023? Obviously, those concerns about retrospective issues would not apply going forward.
