Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I want to ask the Minister about the 30 days after the day on which the legal proceedings are concluded, or 18 months after the day on which the first period expires. Would it not be simpler to have it just 30 days after the day on which the legal proceedings are concluded because the nub of the matter is about legal proceedings and 30 days is just a month within the period of the completion of the legal proceedings? Why have another period of 18 months and why is there a need to go to the High Court if the matter can be dealt with in the 30 days after all legal proceedings are over?
