We have had an interesting debate and it has given me much to think about as we moved through the different Stages of the Bill. However, the more often I hear the Minister of State's case on this particular issue, the less I agree with it. His main argument against my proposals is the very implausible suggestion that a person might give up his or her job in order, the next day, to avail of a scheme which, as the Minister of State rightly pointed out, is fairly marginal in its likely impact.
