The Tánaiste said in his opening statement that substantive amendments were to be made to the Bill and that the ICJ case in July was a game-changer when it came to the Bill. At what point did his staff start working on the amendments? How long have they been in train? When did the Tánaiste recognise that amendments to the Bill were needed? We are now in November, so it has been four months or so. How long have staff been working on this? What is the timeline for when the amendments will be completed, Taoiseach? I am sorry, I should have said “Tánaiste”.
