Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

Like the Minister of State, Deputy Michael Ahern, and our eminent officials, I do not have a desire to frustrate any quality contributions. I would not propose an alternative word for that reason. The words in the amendments I have tabled have been recommended by the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel, following a great deal of examination on the part of that office. I have taken on board the advice of the office. I am sure the Deputy was pleased to learn that one of his amendments was accepted in his absence because it was considered to be meritorious.
