I have a suggestion that might be slightly unorthodox. None of us will be around when the next ETB legislation is being dealt with. I certainly will not. We will draft a Report Stage amendment that incorporates some of the thinking I have just articulated and will circulate it informally to the Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil spokespersons as well as our Fine Gael and Labour Party colleagues for consideration. We can then tweak it accordingly. When we get to the Report Stage debate, it will be a straight run, as members will know. Is that acceptable politically?
