I suggest that 12 months is too soon given that it takes a few months to do this work. You would probably be looking at the operation of it within six months. I would suggest a two-year period to give it time to see what is happening and then to give time to do the actual research and report back to the Oireachtas. If colleagues feel strongly about it, we can explicitly reference to include the warnings. We can find some language that it is explicitly in there as well.
