It is pretty straightforward.

I am happy to hear the Deputy's response, but I am not inclined to accept the amendment because its insertion seems unnecessary to me as it essentially duplicates section 35E(1)(b), which reads, "having considered the views, if any, referred to in paragraph (a), to make recommendations to the court regarding what is in the best interests of the child". The Bill already contains what is intended in the amendment and for that reason I reject the amendment.
