It is my intention as spokesperson for Fianna Fáil to take the information the witnesses have given us on board and use it to assist me in drafting amendments to the legislation when it ultimately arrives, if the position that the witnesses have outlined is not taken on board either by the Minister or by the Department, and to use that as an iterative process in the passage of the Bill.

All of those who have contributed have raised issues of concern, some relating to overall policy and some technically detailed as to the impact of this Bill if the changes outlined are not made. I welcome that and look forward to working with the delegates over the next number of months as the Bill progresses through the House.
