I acknowledge the Minister's point. His amendments have moved the legislation on and these amendments may not capture that. They relate to earlier amendments we brought forward. This section refers to the annual plan and relates to the performance of the functions of an túdarás. I was seeking to ensure those functions were more specific. I will look again at section 9, where functions and all of that are defined, to ensure that this is, in fact, captured in the annual plan. If it is not, I will come back with a further amendment on functions. The Minister stated that it is not necessary to be prescriptive if the functions already cover what I am seeking to cover. The annual plan is supposed to set this out and the corporate plan is similar. If we get the functions right in section 9, then we will get the rest of it right. I have no problem with withdrawing these amendments and looking again at the functions section.
