The wish of members here is that we get consensus. I wish the same, but I do not want the discussion dragging on from week to week. Therefore, I propose that we ask two members - not four - to draft a proposal. I suggest Deputies Byrne and O'Sullivan should be asked to liaise with Deputies Durkan and Walsh on their motion and amendment to see where there is leeway. Anybody can put forward an amendment of course. I will allow one more week for this and if we have not come up with a suitable amendment by next week, I will call a vote on the issue at the beginning of the meeting next week.
