Deputy Doherty sometimes does being a minority voice very well. While we are on the subject, obviously I hope the Minister, Deputy Noonan, is returned as Minister for Finance. I agree largely with what the Deputy has said about section 21. It is important that we keep legislation under review. Section 21 of this Bill will enable the appeals commissioners to prepare and submit reports to the Minister on their activities and on any issues they believe appropriate. It also provides that the Minister may require the commissioners to prepare and submit various reports. The Minister, Deputy Noonan, and I think this is an issue that should be kept under review. I am sure we will return to it again on Report Stage.
