I suggest the Minister of State would take on board the various issues we have raised and show us a draft proposed Report Stage amendment before the Bill is taken on Report Stage. Once the Government has issued its amendments, it is almost a case of game over because the decision has been made. If the Minister of State's draft proposed amendment for Report Stage could be issued to all members of the select committee we would revert to her on it. We should not be dividing on an issue related to the functions of a technological university.
