Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

It would seem to make sense - subject to agreement from the Minister of State - to take amendments Nos. 28 and 30 together. Essentially, they both relate to the same issue. I do not wish to take the Minister of State short in respect of this matter so I will give him a moment to consider it. I am of the view that it would make sense to discuss these amendments together. They are not grouped on the list circulated to Members.
