Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I assure Deputies that I will certainly do so. I am not sure what is wrong with the section, but it may not sufficiently resemble provisions in the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Acts, which allow for orders in aid of the High Court punishable as contempt of that court. It may have something to do with that. However, since we are legislating in the very short term, I hope that we will be able to address this in a more comprehensive manner in the new heads that will come forward. Some matters are not revealed to me, and a deal is a deal. I must stand by it.
