Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

The Minister of State is being vague. The Bill should deal with the reality, not the spirit. While there may be a spirit in the Bill, the reality is the meat of the issue. The Minister of State says the spirit is there but then tells us a commission will be appointed to look at what we are suggesting he can do now. I am not prepared to withdraw the amendment on that basis.
