Hopefully, everybody can reflect on this and consider the value of having a specific report on the operation of this aspect of the legislation. That is essentially about getting numbers. Those numbers should certainly be available within a 12-month period. There is obviously a case for having a wider review. Two years is probably reasonable for that. I ask the Minister to consider having a specific review and coming back to us with those figures with the data on the operation of the legislation. Hopefully there will be figures. We can then review the issue. I also think keeping a focus on the Garda getting a system in place is an important aspect of having that 12-month timescale. The Minister might consider those points. I will withdraw the amendment on the basis that he has given an undertaking to come back on Report Stage.
