I thank the Minister. It has been very helpful to sit back and listen to the previous engagements. I acknowledge the work of the Minister and the officials in the Department over recent years in working with me as the Bill went through the Seanad. We also allowed each other space to have these discussions. To put it on the record, what I am hearing is that it is the drafting that it is the issue and not the policy.
