I have sat through these hearings and I must say that the excellent interpretation of the Bill by Deputy Ó Caoláin throughout really blew me away. What the Deputy is saying is lay person's language.

Can the Minister read out the first part of his response again? He stated that this could not be put in due to something in law, and I would like to hear that again in order to understand it. My heart believes what Deputy Ó Caoláin is saying but my head must think differently.
