I thank the Chairman for his chairing of the meeting. I am very pleased we have been able to work through so many of the issues. Much has been accepted without any contrary views and I will return with further amendments on Report Stage regarding a number of issues. I note the view a number of people have taken regarding the language we have used. We have spent months working on it and there is quite a bit of disagreement among disability groups on how to approach this. It is very difficult to draft and a huge amount of legal advice has been sought and it is being done with very careful consideration. I am sure Deputies appreciate this.
