I appreciate what the Minister of State has said, but it would be good to see the amendment. Amendment No. 40 is very practical. It would give the public a lot of confidence in this process. Administratively, as Deputy Ó Broin said, it would make life much easier. A large amount of this information is available through the lobbying register and by means of freedom of information requests, but much more comes from processes for all involved. Providing clarity in a very accessible format as to what representations were made, and having this available in respect of this policy, would be very useful.

On amendment No. 41, which would amend section 31, I will wait to see what the actual number is.
