I welcome the indication that this matter will be provided for in the regulations. It is frustrating, however, that so much depends on those regulations, which we will not see before the legislation is passed. The Minister is saying that regulations cannot be brought forward in advance, but we can safely assume, based on the Government's majority, that what we are looking at here will, in fact, be what is passed into law. On that basis, will the regulations be published before the Bill goes to the Seanad?
