Of course, yes.

I have tabled two further amendments to the section. The first corrects a drafting error in section 10(3) by substituting the word "admissible" for "inadmissible". This makes it clear that evidence introduced in mediation that is otherwise admissible or subject to discovery in proceedings shall not become inadmissible solely because it was introduced or used in mediation.

Amendment No. 31 deletes the word "civil" in section 10(3). It is no longer needed here following the amendment of the definition of "proceedings" in section 2.

That is fine. In the absence of any further contributions, I am going to proceed to deal with the amendments. Where stands amendment No. 28 Deputy Daly?
