In order to address the concerns of Deputies D'Arcy and Calleary, I can see if there is another definition of "dealing" or "developing" which we might be able to insert into the Act to deal with this issue. If such a definition is available, I will put that forward on Report Stage. If colleagues have any suggestions, I am happy to consider them. We need to be careful that the language does not become so specific that it narrows the ability of the Standards in Public Office Commission to do its work.
As long as that is clear, of course I am happy to do it.
