For the purposes of clarity, we will try to produce a list of issues. The delegates will understand that there is a time limit and that the Bill must be published soon. We will do our best and communicate to the Minister the published submissions, as well as a copy of the transcript of these hearings. We only have a few days in which to do this work.

Equally, they have a problem with the commission report's recommendations in that regard. Deputy Dara Murphy is pressing Mr. Brennan on this point. I do not mind what answer is given just as long as I know. I am not saying this to raise all of the issues again.
