2:30 pm

Time is limited. I hope to be in the Dáil shortly, within weeks of its going through. If I had a choice, I would be in the Dáil next week. Given the volume of legislation that is going through the Dáil and the window available, I had to take the opportunity to get this into the Dáil and get the legislation passed. The timescale is limited.
The review element of two years will help. A certain amount of that period is left. Although I cannot give any commitment, I sincerely believe that the review will deal with that, and I call on Senator Zappone to withdraw her amendment.
