I cannot commit to bringing forward an amendment to the Bill, but I can commit to the Minister explaining to the Deputy what she intends to do. She has given a commitment that she will deal with this issue. She is prepared to look at it and work with Deputy on it. I suggest the Deputy wait until Report Stage to press the amendment and have further discussions with the Department in the meantime. I cannot give a commitment that an amendment will be brought forward on Report Stage because we do not think one is needed. There is enough scope within the legislation, as it stands, to address the Deputy's concerns. While I cannot commit to bringing forward an amendment, I can commit to engaging in further discussions.
