The amendment arises from two amendments separately tabled by Deputies O'Dea and Brady on Committee Stage. The only suggestion I made on that Stage was that six months rather than three months should be allowed for the preparation of the report in order to give the officials in my Department some space. Certain other amendments also call for reports to be compiled. I am grateful that the Deputies agreed to the six-month period to prepare the report, which I am happy to facilitate.
