Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 2:

In page 4, line 19, after "period" to insert "shall be reviewed every three years and".

I welcome the fact that the Minister has the power to extend the period of adoptive leave. If this power is to be utilised to its best advantage, the Minister should be obliged to review the period from time to time. In this amendment I propose that the Minister should review the period every three years. I trust the Minister of State will accept the amendment.
