No. On a point of order, I am perfectly entitled to point out that provisions included in the Bill could be problematic and, therefore, must be considered, that amendments may be required and that the legislation should be passed only if there is also a commitment to deal with the other circumstances which affect children or any contributory factor that might lead parents to fail their children in so far as the State has responsibility for this. That is an absolutely valid and relevant point to make on this legislation. Frankly, the Acting Chairman is out of order for questioning me on it.
