I am not trying to have a discussion on the Government Bill, but it is a fact of life that the Bill was published yesterday. It deals with some of the issues that are now arising in this context. I am signalling that I will table Report Stage amendments along the lines of what is incorporated in the Government's Bill. Some of them will cover the ground that is a matter of concern for Deputy McGrath.

We will try to accommodate his approach in the Report Stage amendments. I will ask my officials to dialogue with him in advance of tabling any such amendments.
