Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I am not comfortable with the ambiguous nature of this section. I seek a firm commitment that the policing committees will be set up and that is why I propose the substitution of the word "may" with "shall". I also seek a time limit of three months within which the Minister must issue guidelines under the section.

Amendment No. 44 proposes the deletion of paragraphs (a) and (b) and the insertion of a more expansive and comprehensive series of paragraphs, which state what should be provided.
