Dr. O'Grady said if we move on to Committee Stage and tweak the legislation that eventually, through the Barnes report and its recommendations and findings, the legislation would benefit Vera's family and other families. I do not mean to pick on anybody but if the Bill passed in its entirety today, it would not be as strong as it could be if we amended it. I do not want to extend people's expectations. There should know there is a process under way and it will take time but there has to be a consensus on both sides. It is down to debate and getting this right.
