Gerard Murphy (Cork North West, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 44:

In page 25, to delete lines 28 to 30 and substitute the following:

"(3) The Minister shall, within 3 months of receiving a report under this section, cause a copy of it to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas.".

This type of amendment has been put forward by Fine Gael with many Bills, seeking to set down a specific timeframe whereby the Minister will have to lay a report before the Oireachtas. I am not suggesting the current Minister would delay putting a report before the Houses for any reason.
