We will try to get through the legislation as quickly as possible but, by the same token, people will be given the chance to make their points. Is that agreed? Agreed. If we have not concluded consideration of the Bill by 4 p.m. then we will resume at 2 p.m. next Thursday. I hope we can get through the legislation as quickly as possible.

I welcome the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, and his officials to the meeting. There are a number of related amendments so grouping arises. I ask members and visitors to ensure that all telephones are switched off. I wish to advise the sub-committee that sections 1 to 8, inclusive, were agreed on 11 November.
