To follow up on the comments of Deputies O'Callaghan and Boyd Barrett, we believe our wording is stronger and more ambitious. Trying to set a minimum target of damage limitation or not contravening an EU directive is not the kind of attitude that should be included in the Bill. We should be more ambitious and set a higher standard. We believe our wording sets out to achieve more than the wording in the Bill as it stands does. The Minister of State should consider taking it on board.
