There are several issues. I mentioned the tight timeframe. My amendment is to try to facilitate. Within two months of the Minister's action is a short period in which to put together the personnel, time and everything needed to produce a judicial review. Even the three months I suggested is minimal. It is what it is, if the Minister of State is adamant that he will pursue it. However, at the very least will the Government ensure civil society can have greater input or at least oversight of this? Amendments Nos. 119 and 122 deal with that aspect.

One of the issues I was not 100% sure what was meant by it is covered in amendment No. 118 where I propose the deletion of "with all necessary modifications". Surely the provisions would not require that. It is on page 75, line 25. It does not say what modifications or what existing legislation is being referred to. If the legislation is already modified, the reference to legislation is sufficient. Here "necessary modifications" has been added. It is strange.

The other points I made about judicial reviews still stand.
