I thank Ms Mulhern. I have two final questions. In terms of section 5, that is, the new section 8 of the Bill, many people from different quarters have said very clearly during our pre-legislative scrutiny that they do not know why this has arisen and that they have not experienced difficulties with this. They do not know why this has arisen or what the purpose is behind this change. Has there been a change of view on that? Are the proposed changes as a result of Government or ministerial direction? Where has it come from?
