On amendments Nos. 104 and 106, I take the Minister's point that it is important that we be careful on the issue of supervised self-regulation. I am supportive of the independence of regulation. However, it is important also that the views of members of the Bar Council, who are the people working in this area, are, by way of amendment, put on the record for consideration by the Minister and his officials, who may take on board some of the ideas proposed therein. While I do not necessarily agree with every amendment proposed, it is important that they be put forward during Committee Stage consideration of the Bill.
