Last night I was dealing section 4 which makes provision for the laying of regulations before the Houses of the Oireachtas. While I know it is not the intention of this Minister to bring in significant regulations at present, there is nothing to stop a Minister in the future from bringing in significant regulations. The wording of my amendment or the alternative wording in Deputy Ó Cuív's amendment would be acceptable. I hope the Minister can accept the principle of my amendment and agree to come back on Report Stage with a substantive amendment to the section.
