I thank the Minister for his response and I take his comments on board. He mentioned that he will be consulting other stakeholders on elements of the Bill. Will he or his officials consult the LRC at any stage to take the recommendations of its comprehensive 2008 report on board? What has he taken on board from the report and for what reasons has he not included any of the LRC's recommendations? I would be interested in learning the answers to these questions and about whether there will be further consultation between the Department's officials and the LRC on the latter's recommendations.
