Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

Amendments Nos. 3 and 5 have been tabled on the basis of the advice of the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel. We agree with that office's recommendation of the word "perfected". We are totally guided by that advice in this instance. I listened with great interest to Deputy Howlin's comments about the Supreme Court. I am worried that justice delayed is justice denied. It is obvious that the decisions delivered by judges do not become operative until the perfection is carried.
