To be clear, I am not seeking a decision from the committee today. I am stating how I am going to proceed. It is up to the committee to decide if it wishes to move with that proposed procedure. In two weeks' time, I hope, we will bring the heads of the Bill to Cabinet to get its approval in principle for it. After that there is a drafting process to produce the heads of the Bill that can be introduced to the Dáil on Second Stage. The committee will then have an opportunity to decide what it wishes to do.
