I wish to point out that I would have engaged on the legislation if Deputy O'Reilly had not withdrawn her amendment. I cannot comment on an amendment once the Deputy has withdrawn it. I am sorry that Deputy Donnelly does not consider that my presence is not relevant. My presence is very relevant here. I am here on behalf of the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris. In terms of the amendments in front of me, as I have been given the text, the Minister will not accept it and I cannot counteract that.
