Peter Power (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

I do not want to stifle discussion or cut across other Members but I want to make a brief intervention. For the information of the House, we are dealing with amendment No. 10 and discussing it in detail. Fine Gael has tabled an amendment to amendment number 11, which is important, and relates to whistleblowers and extending the definition in section 222 to incorporate directors and employees of a NAMA entity. This was not included in the original definition and clearly it should be. It would be unfortunate if that amendment could not be taken because we wind down the clock on this amendment. I am not proposing an extension of time but if we wind down the clock on this amendment we will not get to the next amendment. I am open to moving onto the next amendment.
