We may need to consider that. There is a real urgency to have the Bill passed before the summer recess. I believe the Tánaiste is committed to that but there is speculation that she may not be the Minister for Justice and Equality under the new Fine Gael leadership. We do not know what is happening in that regard. The point I am making is that we need to keep the pressure on the Department. In saying that, I am in no way being derogatory to the Minister. We need to keep the pressure on and, therefore, I would not fully abandon the proposal put forward last week.
