Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I shall have to think about it further. I wish we had more time to consider this matter and come back to it on Report Stage because I am not content that the broadness of the definition I am suggesting does not apply. I need to cross-reference the 1998 Act with it again. We are back to the situation we dealt with last year. On the floor of the House we are cross-referencing legislation. The Minister is doing his best to give us assurances, but he really does not have the time either to be certain as regards the impact of the Bill when enacted.
