The next item is the consideration of the draft report on pre-legislative scrutiny of the general scheme of the affordable housing Bill 2020. At the private meetings last week, we dealt with many of the amendments that came in. There are some amendments that we could not agree on at that meeting. The proposers have asked us to put them to a vote. To put this into context, there were 54 amendments submitted. That is an indication of how committed members are and the amount of time everyone on this committee has put into this report so far. It shows how well the committee works together, that of the 54 amendments, we could not agree on the final wording of six or seven. Hopefully, we can do that in this session.

The first vote is on additional recommendations to the pre-legislative scrutiny report. This was proposed by Deputy Ó Broin. Are you pressing a vote on this?
