The amendment tabled by Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan proposes to review the Act, not to review the centres in terms of their success or failure. I have already made it very clear that reviews will be conducted by An Garda Síochána and the HSE. They will monitor and review the centres. We would expect that there will be a period of time - possibly 18 months to two years - before such a review will take place. We will also have an independent review, which is very important. I will not be accepting the amendment.
