12:30 pm
Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent) | Oireachtas source
By way of correction, amendments Nos. 37 and 38 do not require a full overhaul or examination of the whole scheme. They relate to specific provisions within the Bill and the specific provisions in the Schedule to the Bill in respect of the 180-day and 90-day requirements, respectively. I do not accept that the change proposed would be as substantial as the Minister suggests. I give notice that we reserve the right to introduce amendments on the next Stage dealing with the mechanisms for responding to any concerning trends within the annual report. For now, I will press amendment No. 37.
