With Deputy Doherty's approval, I believe that it would be helpful not just to the Bill but to the issue that we are trying to raise if we were to give that challenge to the witnesses' organisations and others to come back with a format that would do exactly what we want to do. That would have regard to the work the witnesses do and the legislation that we have to put together, and it would challenge the Oireachtas by asking what we have to do to pass legislation that will work for those who are most in distress.
