We should not proceed with Committee Stage today. If it is the case that the Supreme Court allowed this appeal, then we will not have to introduce this legislation. This House should be cautious about introducing legislation which is unnecessary. As well as that, the Supreme Court is determining the matter. We do not want parties in the Supreme Court saying that this has been affected or rendered moot as a result of this legislation being introduced by the Oireachtas. Consequently, I would like to put it to a vote that we should adjourn.
