Absolutely. I must lay down the caveat that we will only have two hours to discuss the Revised Estimate. I will not guillotine any debate on an Estimate as I do not believe we should do so. This may mean that we may have to revisit the issue. We must have a break of at least 24 hours between meetings to consider Estimates because of the Covid-19 restrictions. I will be far more rigid in managing times than I was when we considered the community and rural affairs Estimate earlier. I agree that we should certainly get a briefing from the Minister on her future plans for the legislation, as suggested by Deputy Ó Cúiv.

As I said, the select committee is due to meet next Wednesday. This joint committee stands adjourned until Monday, 16 November when the committee will meet in private session on the Microsoft Teams platform. It will meet again in public session on Wednesday, 18 November.
