To clarify, the Bill is indeed scheduled to go before the committee in February. However, the difficulty is this has not been confirmed. Members await Government amendments that I understand must go before the Cabinet. As there is an urgency to this matter, can the Tánaiste state whether the amendments have gone to the Cabinet, yes or no? If so, I assume the February deadline will be met but if not, the worry is this will drag on further.
