Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 64:

In page 28, between lines 17 and 18, to insert the following:

"(9) The Technical Assessment Board shall endeavour to ensure that all applications received by the Technical Assessment Board shall be adjudicated upon in the manner specified in column 2 and within the timeframe specified in column 3 of the Schedule.".

The amendment relates to not having an open-ended time provision to ensure some kind of timeframe within which responses would be made. Perhaps the Minister has already dealt with this matter elsewhere.
