That may well entail the law not being in operation for a two-year period at least. Many of us have doubts about the workability of this legislation. Nobody has been able to answer the question regarding how gardaí know whether this is a first, second or tenth warning. If there is no means of knowing that within An Garda Síochána, this is a serious matter and we need to know about it as quickly as possible and put pressure on An Garda Síochána to act as soon as possible.

The wider review is fine and I accept that the timescale for that should probably be two years when all the parts are working but regarding the operation of the warning system, it is reasonable that within 12 months, we would hear what the situation is and whether that problem has been resolved because it is a problem at the moment and it needs to be resolved for this Bill to work.
