From reading the transcripts on the Seanad debate on the Bill much discussion centred on the timeframe, whether it should be three or five years or whatever. Whatever the timeframe, it will be less than what it is, so that will be a help. We will probably give it more consideration when we are drafting the more comprehensive legislation. In the North it is one year but that is sort a timeframe. A timeframe should be put in place and whether it is three or five years is something that can be debated when drafting the new comprehensive Bill.
