I fully respect the Deputy’s right to do so. That is fine. To be helpful, as we go on, we will give a comparison between the existing wording, which I do not have to hand, and the new wording, which we can get to the Deputy. It would probably be appropriate to have that tomorrow.

It is important that we not only speak on the strategies themselves but also that we see what is happening on the ground with new developments. That is very clear to see and welcomed by many, too. There are great improvements in the output and the developments themselves. I can certainly provide a comparison between the language that is here in this Bill and in the principal Act. We will get that to the Deputies. I understand the sentiment behind the amendment. I reiterate that I cannot accept it.
