I thank the officials from the Department for all the work they have put into this. When we saw the list of amendments we said, "Oh God". In some cases, whole pages were deleted and there were multiple amendments. When we are amending legislation that is amending original legislation, it is a challenge. It shows the work that has continued since the publication of the original Bill and there is no doubt that the version we have before us is much improved and may even be improved further before Report Stage.

I also thank the credit union movement which has engaged with my office on this Bill. Does the Minister of State have an indication as to when we are likely to see this Bill on Report Stage? Will it be soon? Will it be before the end of the year?
