I would ask the proposer to defer. There is always an opportunity on the next Stage. The Minister can introduce an amendment along those lines or along agreed lines between the Deputy and the Minister. I understand the Deputy's concerns. Nonetheless, I would also like to hear a little bit more about it from the Minister of State. Like everybody else, I have discussed this issue and the entire Bill with the Minister. It might be no harm to enable the Minister to consider the issues as set out by the Deputy and ascertain whether there are grounds for coming back on Report Stage either to accept that amendment or having agreed with the Deputy in the interim as to what might be acceptable.
