That is the point I was going to make. The word "shall" should be used. We put down a three-month period in this amendment, but accept it could take more than three months for guidelines to be drawn up. The Minister of State agreed there should be a specific time limit. If we say the committees "shall" be set up, a time limit should be put on the issuing and implementation of the guidelines. Perhaps the Minister of State will come back with a suggestion on this on Report Stage. If we have not got guidelines within a specified period, the issue will remain up in the air. We want some consistency and permanency.
