I am conscious that this amendment is not being allowed but it is something on which there could be general discussion. It came up in a previous discussion on this Bill as well. Generally, in the legislation, both in this and in social welfare legislation, it is not defined and it is accepted as the ordinary meaning. That has been acceptable and has worked and I have heard no real argument not to continue with that.

If there is a major issue the Deputy wants me to have a chat with her about before Report Stage, I can do that. It is not something we are concerned about. The Deputy obviously is so I am happy to chat to her about it if she wants before Report Stage.
