With regard to procedure and for the Deputy's information, if the amendment is pressed and if it is accepted and I put the section, as amended, it will then be excluded because it would be part of the section to be deleted. I can only indicate to the Deputy that there is an expectation, and anticipation, that section 2 will not stand part of the Bill. That is unusual but I must say it because it has already been addressed by the committee members. I am advising the Deputy that he will embark upon an exercise at the end of which he will find that section 2 will not continue. This is the agreement, as already stated, of members of the committee and the Minister.
