I wish to make a brief observation on amendments Nos. 12 and 13. Deputy Naughten's amendment is quite particular on the practice and methodology of regulations as they will present. They should be presented to the Houses for approval before their introduction and not just be laid before the Houses, as is the practice in so many instances.

Amendment No. 13, which was tabled by Deputy Ó Cuív, is very different. It is but a reiteration of everything that the Bill and the constitutional position already affirm. I do not see these two amendments as a case of either-or. They are anything but.
