I am not particularly concerned from a staff perspective. To follow on from points made by Deputies Casey and Ó Broin, letting the Bill as amended pass this Stage does not mean we support its amendments. We have articulated some serious concerns, omissions and matters we might consider further. We will allow it to progress but we reserve the right to table amendments should we wish. As Deputy Casey said in the context of the composition of membership, I hope we can work on that without the door closing. There are different ideas and we can work through them on Tuesday.
