We all agree that this legislation is important. We have been waiting on it for a long time. It impacts people who are taking cases before the courts having sustained catastrophic injuries or whose children have sustained catastrophic injuries. My priority is to ensure that this legislation is enacted as quickly as possible. Had we a perfect world, including Deputy Daly's amendment in the legislation would be ideal, but is the Minister of State saying that, if the amendment is made, it could delay the legislation?
