Amendment No. 103 deals with the amount of time given to the review committee to carry out its deliberations and reach a decision. The Bill currently provides for a figure of seven days. When we add the three days provided for establishing the committee, the period comes to ten days. As Deputy Catherine Murphy pointed out, these provisions will apply in cases which require urgency in establishing a committee and reaching a decision. A more reasonable time period, particularly in making a decision, is three days. That would effectively reduce the overall period to six days.

I hope the Minister can accept this reasonable proposition .
