I recognise that Deputy Niamh Smyth has joined us as a new member of the committee and will be with us going forward. She is welcome. I look forward to her contributions today and on other days into the future. I wish her well on this committee.

Amendment No. 31, in the name of the Minister, proposes a new section 6 of the Bill. Amendments Nos. 31 and 39 to 41, inclusive, are related and will be taken together, along with amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 31. We will not dispose of amendment No. 31 until we have disposed of the amendment to amendment No. 31 in order that we know whether we are dealing with the amended or unamended version of the amendment. It is a bit of a "Peter Piper". Amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 31 is in the name of Deputy Howlin.
