Lorraine Clifford-Lee (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to speak to section 70(4). That has the same language, and states that "as soon as practicable after a copy of the annual report is submitted to him or her under subsection (1) cause a copy of it to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas". Again, I think it might be an idea to put in a timeframe there. The phrase "as soon as practicable" can mean anything to anyone, and given the importance of the plan, it would be fitting to put a timeframe there. While we can trust the Minister's bona fides, maybe some of her successors would not be as quick as she would be to lay such a report before the Houses of the Oireachtas. Would the Minister consider putting a specific timeframe within the legislation?
