Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I do not think I will divide the House on this issue. When a Minister reads a prepared answer that was written before one made one's case, there is always a danger that it will address arguments one did not make, which can be very interesting. I do not think the definition, as it stands, will create difficulties that cannot be overcome. I will withdraw the amendment for that reason.
