Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I appreciate that. As the Chair can see, there is some difficulty here this morning in trying to reach a consensus on how we should proceed. Much of the difficulty relates to the Water Services (Amendment) Bill. I suggest the Chair allow the Whips ten minutes to met outside the House and suggest he suspends the sitting for ten minutes to allow them to discuss the issue. Considering the Minister is available today, they should see if they can reach any kind of compromise on this fraught issue. Otherwise, we will continue to have difficulty.
