They will be coming on Report Stage, but there will be a chance to discuss them and get the gist of them during the break at 3.30 p.m. That is not an issue. They are part of the rental end of it. There were many calls for them during the Seanad debate and also on Second Stage in the Dáil. They are reflective of those calls and are also reflective of the rental strategy consultation that has taken place over recent months. Most politicians that I am aware of got involved in that and many made submissions - there were over 500 submissions and the amendments reflect that. There will be a chance to discuss the consultation. If Deputies want to do that during the break or later on tonight, we can do that. They will come in on Report Stage, which I believe will be taken on Thursday. There will be a proper analysis of that with plenty of time set aside to do that.
