Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 20, line 45, to delete "12th anniversary" and substitute "3rd anniversary".

I hope the Minister and I can revisit this amendment in good faith. On Committee Stage I spoke at length on the issues arising but, unfortunately, the relevant part of the Bill was guillotined. I strongly believe that the Minister should consider a period of three years. He has stated that while he has an open mind, he is keeping the five year clause. As I was not in a position to deal with this amendment on Committee Stage, I propose to press the question regarding amendments Nos. 3 and 4.
