One can only do so much. The Bill has been in circulation for a year. I accept the point made by Deputy Calleary that he believes the amendments could have been circulated earlier. We will unsure that if there are further changes on Report Stage everyone will have them. There have been calls for quite a while for the measures. The Bill has been available for a period of time. I have referred Deputies to section 35 in respect of the preliminary inquiry. I also point to section 34 which gives the commissioner the power to dismiss a complaint. We are being pretty clear about this. If the commissioner believes that a complaint is frivolous, vexatious or repetitious then the commissioner can dismiss it.
