Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I am disappointed the Minister has not accepted these two reasonable amendments. We are not talking about the simple twisted ankle. We are taking this much more seriously and looking at genuine cases. We are all agreed on the need to cut out the fraudulent and exaggerated claims. We are dealing with serious cases where people take time and that time should be allotted to them. We are being reasonable in asking for a four month period.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Amendment No. 12 not moved.
