Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 60:

In page 9, line 29, to delete "3 months" and substitute "1 month".

This amendment relates to time limits. It was suggested on Committee Stage that the timeframe for the beginning of an assessment could be reduced from three months. Having considered the suggestion, I agree with the basis for it. I have proposed amendment No. 60 to reduce the period to one month. As a consequence, Deputy Crowe's amendment No. 61 is unnecessary. My amendment meets the thrust of what he suggests.
