The amendment may not be worded in the best way possible but it attempts to address a problem. It is not clear whether or not a person could go back to the court after subsection (2) has come into operation. He or she probably could. It is uncharted territory. I will withdraw the amendment with a view to having it reintroduced on Report Stage and to give the Minister of State an opportunity to reword it with similar effect, if he so desires. I can see problems with the wording as it stands, but by withdrawing my wording the same problems will remain, although in a more unstructured way. I will give the Minister of State another opportunity to look at the question for Report Stage.
