I will conclude by saying that there were 3,000 submissions. There is a huge demand outside of these Houses for this issue to be dealt with. I thank the Minister and Minister of State for their openness. I am appreciative of the fact that they are not opposing the Bill in typical partisan fashion. Our Bill will remain on the agenda. I will be happy to take it off the agenda as soon as we see a set of proposals coming from the Government side. Fianna Fáil has also said it intends to bring forward a set of proposals. We will keep an open mind.
