Our preference is that all student-specific accommodation would be included. For this reason, the clarifying amendment from Fianna Fáil would be helpful. We do not seek to rush this legislation through. We proposed the Bill some time ago and in fairness to the Minister he met us. The delay in his legislation is not connected with this issue but with other issues. The sooner we have a resolution to those, the better. We will be as co-operative as we can with the Department and the Minister, as I am sure other members will be also.
