We contend that much of what is in Deputy Quinlivan's amendment is in the Bill. The question is whether it can be clarified a bit more as we progress to Report Stage. It is a decision for Deputy Quinlivan. I like the consensus approach, although we might not agree on everything. It is very important that we put the position of the role of mayor in legislation that we can all get behind. There may be disagreement on the details but I hope not on the point of principle. It is very much in the hands of Deputy Quinlivan.
