Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I take the Minister's point about the previous Acts. I cross-referenced them on the basis of what I wanted to achieve here. I will deal with the matter of refusal when we are discussing the section in question. I do not wish to delay the debate. There is no point in amending something that is not stated or restating something that is not stated. I will withdraw the amendment on that basis.
