What I have in mind now is to get the committee's paper in February. We will have the summer economic statement, SES, in April or May and within the period of nailing down what the SES will be and presenting it to the Dáil, I hope we will be in a position after that to begin to present the heads of the Bill to the committee for pre-legislative scrutiny. We are talking about something that will not be up and running until next year. We will just work our way through it this year.
