I thank both Deputies for the amendments. I certainly agree with the intent. It is complex and it will be essential that the information provided is easy to understand and breaks everything down. On the back of receiving these two amendments, I have asked my Department to engage on this, most importantly with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, with a view to either coming back on Report Stage with an amendment or a recommendation that this is included in regulations. It might be the kind of instruction to the authority that we want to tweak and update, which is much easier to do through regulations than legislation. If colleagues are willing to bear with us, we can come back with an advisory note on how best to proceed. I certainly agree with the intent.
