Thank you. With regard to the recommendation, I would prefer if the report could be prepared within one month rather than three but it is welcome that the Minister has seen fit to accept the amendment which was proposed by Deputy Burton in the Dáil and is willing to produce such a report. It is interesting to note that the preparation of a report by the Government does not of itself constitute a charge on the Exchequer, according to the Cathaoirleach. I note this because it anticipates a point I will make later. I am happy that the Minister has acceded to this sensible proposal and I will not oppose the recommendation that it be amended from one month to three.
