The Deputy must be careful not to engage in electioneering. I congratulate her on bringing this legislation forward and I hope it goes well for her. To clarify, we are not dealing with Committee Stage today. When Second Stage of the Bill was completed in the Dáil, it was referred to us for public hearings and scrutiny. The next Stage will be Committee Stage in the select committee, where the Minister and members will have an opportunity to table amendments. The next Stages will be Report and Final Stages in the Dáil, after which the Bill will be referred to the Seanad. There are issues and complications that need to be ironed out but the will is there to move the legislation forward.
