I concur with the Minister in his last remarks that it has been useful to have focused in on this issue. I would hope that any media following this discussion would join in the effort of the dissemination of information for the widest possible public purposes. That is very important. I reserve the right to table the amendments which we have discussed. This focus will be further served by its address again on Report Stage in the Dáil Chamber. In the meantime the reason I was particularly anxious that the Minister would not give us a definitive response this afternoon was that I wanted to leave as much room as possible for lobbying for his employment of the greatest mental agility possible in the intervening period. We will not take that as an absolute position. We will leave the door a little open and see where it brings us.
