I know the Tánaiste is under time constraints. I believe we have highly intelligent legal people who could work on amendments. We in Sinn Féin have offered our time tomorrow and the Social Democrats the day after. This committee will sit tonight, tomorrow and early on Thursday morning to go through this and to pass the Bill because I cannot help but believe that the Government will put this on the long finger and the Bill will never be moved because of Fianna Fáil's bedfellows in Fine Gael. We know about Paschal Donohoe and the communications he had with the Israeli ambassador. We know Fine Gael is not favour of this and they are the partners in Government.
