I see the point the Deputy is making, but I would have thought amendment No. 6 is probably broad enough. I am conscious that somebody in the Department will have to look through it and harmonise it before Report Stage. I am open minded about it. There is not a huge difference between the two. The recommendations referred to in amendment No. 6 are probably broad enough if they can make recommendations regarding the sentence management of prisoners. Deputy Daly's point is that it should be implicit in that they can make an order. Does the Tánaiste have a strong view on it?
