Amendment No. 2 inserts additional words "or periods" after the word "period". It is already implied in the section that the redundancy panel be set up for a period of three years with provision for a three year extension, however, concern was expressed in the Dáil that it was not sufficiently clear and I accepted the amendment.

Amendment No. 3 is unnecessary legally but it makes the text somewhat easier to understand for the layperson.
