I move amendment No. 62:

In page 21, line 30, to delete "powers." and substitute "powers to raise within the timeframe at paragraph (a),and within the competence to respond within the rationale required at paragraph (d).".

In light of what Senator McDowell said, it could be abused in some circumstances. However, there is a case to be made to which I referred. I would like the Minister of State to reconsider the matter. I do not have better words, but it appears there is a problem. In the past, decisions have been made outside the State. As the Minister of State and Deputy McDowell said, it could be abused. Perhaps the Minister of State will consider the matter before the Bill is debated in the Dáil.
