To ensure that the committee does not spend an unduly long time debating this issue, I will accept Deputy Ó Laoghaire's point that we need to consider further the diversity aspects of the Bill. Let us reflect on the lay membership aspects of the Bill ahead of Report Stage at which point we can revisit the issue. I will not accept the amendment today, however.
