I will be brief. I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh for his remarks and for saying the Bill is progressive. He said he has particular problems with it and I accept that. I accept the point in respect of the Constitutional Convention as well. I would have welcomed a debate on the recommendation of tabling amendments. That is interesting. The Deputy asked me to raise it with the Tánaiste and I will do that. Senator Norris has also raised the matter in the Seanad on many occasions. I believe the point has some merit.

Deputy Boyd Barrett has accused the Government of bluster but I keep the bluster to a minimum.
