Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I introduced an amendment on Committee Stage in the Dáil to provide for a review of the operation of the legislation. The review, which I mentioned earlier, will take place within five years of the commencement of the Act. When I set the five-year timeframe, I decided to link the timing of the review with the end of the multi-annual investment programme in 2009. The amendment made in the Dáil was introduced in response to one of the key proposals of the Disability Legislation Consultation Group, which sought a review of the legislation within five years.
