I referred to a time limit earlier. I innocently proposed a time limit or an aspiration in that regard. I take the Minister of State's comment as being genuine in the sense that he does not want to set a very precise limit or demand. Is there some space in between to allow us to aspire to progress? To say that it will be done as soon as practicable sounds fine, but we need to reflect upon what is happening in reality. By directive or guideline, I would like us in some way put a little pressure on all of us on both the political side of the equation and the administrative side to have a reasonable timeframe deemed to be the norm rather than the exception.
