Yes. To be fair - this will be my last remark on this - the Bill, all 707 pages of it, is extremely comprehensive. There was preparation right the way through, and the committee engaged with that. Pre-legislative scrutiny, stakeholder engagement, the planning forum - all of that was done. There is no way we will stop with the Bill. For how long does one consider the LRC report and its recommendations? I contend - I would, would I not? - that this is a sensible approach to it. We need the legislation passed, and Deputy Ó Broin agrees with me, so there you go.
