Mr. Eugene Lennon:

The Deputy has made the point and the Bill probably goes further than removing cannabis from certain sections of legislation. The Bill also removes the offence of growing cannabis plants. The Bill raises more than a scheduling issue. It includes a number of issues outside Government policy and the Minister referred to these concerns. He did not oppose Second Stage but he stated he had concerns which he would deal with on Committee Stage. I presume we will deal with them in a more detailed way in April or whenever Committee Stage is taken.
