There is another Bill before the House to do with island voting, and I am in discussions with the Department in this regard.

We discussed these and there is not a big difference between myself and the Department on the amendments because they were recommended by the committee. If the Minister brings them forward, the money message issue does not arise.

If we are going ahead with this Bill, the committee has to be engaged in some form of consultation process. One cannot just have a bald statement as that would be crazy. We are doing this to make it better but then we taking out consultation with anybody. Before we undertake further consideration, I would like to know if the Deputy, in consultation with the Department, has draft amendments that can be brought forward to deal with those issues, because otherwise the Bill is highly flawed.
