We are trying to tease out whether it is only a procedural situation at this point. This is the first time that this has been presented in the way that it has, and I am endeavouring to be guided by what I am hearing. Acknowledging the Minister of State's experience and the support of his Department, if he is telling me that we are not in a position to proceed with section 3 as presented at this point, the only logical position that I see as an alternative is that we agree to delete it, and that Deputy Shortall revisits it appropriately on Report Stage. Are members in agreement with that as a way of overcoming the difficulty?
