Síle de Valera (Clare, Fianna Fail)

This amendment cannot be accepted because, as with the other provisions dealing with time limits, this area was examined during the Bill's passage through the other House. Given the potential complexity in dealing with these matters, I am concerned about reducing the time limit to one month. The Senator might note that section 7(7) ensures that the council or the health board is not absolved from providing services on those aspects of an assessment or education plan that are not in dispute. The other issues should not be held up if there is concern about one issue.
