I also express our dissatisfaction at the way this has been handled. We are not talking about minor technical amendments but amendments which will change the very nature and Title of the Bill. While I recognise the fact the Minister did flag on Second Stage her intention to bring forward these amendments, it is unfortunate that less than 12 hours before the committee meeting, we are dealing with a motion to allow that to happen. We are not dealing with the amendments tonight but the motion to allow the Minister to bring forward the amendments tomorrow. We will support the passing of the motion and deal with the amendments tomorrow at the committee meeting.
