Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 12, line 45, to delete "7 days" and substitute "one month".

This amendment concerns the swearing of an affidavit. We have had representations from the legal profession to the effect that the period of seven days is simply too short to effect what is required. I appeal to the Minister's sense of fairness. Even if he was unwilling to stretch it to one month, perhaps he would accept that seven days is too short and might compromise.
