I accept and welcome Deputy O'Brien's amendment. The Minister, Deputy Donohoe, has said that we accept the principle. It is not the case that we are herding out people at a particular age. However, in order to have a legislative remedy, one has to have an age. We accept Deputy O'Brien's bona fides in regard to the age of 75.
