I liked the element of Senator Paddy Burke's amendment No. 17 which states that no later than three months after the end of each calendar year the authority will report. The Bill provides a timeframe of six months. Will the Minister of State reconsider whether three months is better than six months? Unless matters have an urgency nothing happens. Three months at the end of the year gives the authority time to produce a report and lay it before the Houses. Speed is of the essence if we are to move on these issues.
