I thank the Chairperson. The next step is for us to reflect on our engagement with the committee and on the further engagement with and information from the farmers, which we are seeking. We will then adjust the Bill as we feel appropriate having considered and taken on board the matters arising before introducing the legislation in the Dáil. At that stage, it will go through the process and it will be open to Deputies and Senators to come forward with amendments. In advance of bringing the finalised Bill to the Dáil and having it approved, we will consider what amendments are appropriate. We will then introduce it to the Oireachtas.
