As part of the engagement in the Seanad on Committee Stage, the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, committed to meeting IALPA, which she has done. As part of her contribution to the debate that day, she stated that she would bring forward amendments to the legislation. We should look at that in the context of what the Minister of State said on Committee Stage in the Seanad.

Like Senator Horkan, I think there is a need to have all the issues ironed out while at the same time recognising that Mr. Cullen and Mr. Brereton have, on behalf of their members, serious concerns. The Minister, the Department and the Government want to expedite this Bill. I apologise for leaving.
