It was not my decision and it is not a matter of me reconsidering. It would even be wrong even suggest I should reconsider. As the Deputy will be aware, it is in my constituency as well as hers and I regret deeply the situation. My difficulty is not with addressing the issue which I have done in another context as the Deputy knows but that the amendment has been ruled out of order. Therefore, the matter is completely outside my control.
