As I said in my response, it is clear from discussions with the Minister that both the Deputy and her have the same ambition in not arriving at a point where we would have a two-tier barrister profession. The Minister and Department are satisfied that the Bill will ensure that the outcome sought by the Deputy and the Minister will be achieved. It is in that context that unlike the Deputy's other two amendments, which can be deliberated upon further in the Seanad, we are not in a position to accept amendment No. 30a.
