The Deputy's criticism is valid. As Chairman of the Oireachtas Committee on Justice and Equality, I only had sight of the list of disallowed amendments in the five minutes preceding the commencement of today's meeting. I echo Deputy Daly's appeal to the Bills Office to ensure that decisions regarding amendments are distributed as early as possible. Perhaps even the grouping list could be made available more speedily so that members would know exactly where amendments relate to each other. Does the Minister of State wish to comment on this point?
