Just on a point of clarification, the Minister of State made reference to "review" but the amendment refers to "renewal". That is a more positive term than "review", which has negative connotations. The amendment calls for the renewal of the Act, in the context of public safety. That is what is written in the amendment before us. It is quite a positive amendment in the context of what we are trying to do. The amendment provides that "This Act shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas for renewal every two years" and does not refer to a review.
