On a point of order, I believe the Minister misheard me. I asked for his discretion to recommit the amendment and discuss it on Committee Stage. I do not want to vote against the amendment but the Minister will force me to do so because there is no clarity on certain issues. While incentivising crèches is a good idea - I am not sure the same applies to fitness centres - this proposal must be teased out. We cannot pass it into law without properly discussing it. If we recommit the amendment, I will give an undertaking not to spend more than ten minutes discussing it. Clarity is required on the scheme.
