Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

The only complaint I have is that these amendments are quite complex and technical and should have been teased out on Committee Stage. To a degree, we must take the Minister on trust that they are the full shilling, as presently drafted. We do not have the opportunity to tease out the detail of them at this stage. However, on the basis of the Minister's presentation, it appears that the amendments are justified and I am prepared to agree to them.
