I agree with Deputies Ó Broin and O'Callaghan that the section seems out of place in the Bill. Maybe the Minister can outline the reasons for including this section and why he feels there is a need for it in this Bill. Sometimes we deal with legislation containing add-ons where the Government tries to put in additional provisions that would not necessarily have been there at the beginning.

That is what it looks like to me. I hope the Minister can enlighten us.
