Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I inadvertently addressed this amendment when I answered on amendment No. 3, to the extent that there are a considerable number of previous enactments to be addressed and certain parts of them are still relevant. This is an ongoing process which involves a significant amount of work and in some cases consultation with relevant interests. This deadline could not be met. It would be foolish to accept it in the primary legislation when my judgment is that in respect of at least some elements, it cannot be met.
