Colm Burke (Fine Gael)

The amendment reads "every 12 months". The provision included in the Bill is adequate. It gives an undertaking, whereby the Minister will produce a report. There are also procedures in this House and the Dáil, whereby Members can request information from the Minister if they are not satisfied with a report. The Bill deals with this issue adequately. There is a need for flexibility for the Minister and that is what he has provided for in drafting the Bill, which is the way it should be left.
