Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

I anticipated that nuanced reply of the Minister of State. I am sure he is extremely happy in that regard. I accept the point made and understand the thrust of it. In that context, I am willing to bow the knee to the superior draftspersons involved as I understand what they are doing. I thought my amendment would reinforce the Bill but, in any event, I will withdraw all amendments and allow the Bill to proceed as the Minister of State indicated.
