Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I did not realise all these amendments were ruled out of order. I was ready to deal with them. If I am permitted to raise the point of the amendment to section 7, the Deputy is correct. One may want to reduce or increase. It is not urgent now but it may well be in a year. This matter will have to be examined then. The Deputy was correct and we will probably take account of this later. The Deputy twigged something that covered one side of the coin but on the other hand we may want to reduce as much as raise the amount to account for inflation. It is not essential at the moment but in a year or two when we re-examine this Bill that issue will be raised again.
