It is well within the gift of the Seanad to resolve what is essentially a mathematical issue. During the course of these subsequent amendments, we will tidy up anomalies that currently exist and have nothing to do with last night's amendments, but to do with votes won by Deputies Clare Daly, Wallace and O'Callaghan on Committee Stage. They will rectify the inconsistencies that were created on that Stage. Those amendments will be discussed subsequently and will be resolved. After these amendments, the Bill will be in a better shape. Those Deputies who have been engaging with us on an ongoing basis will be aware of that. I believe the Ceann Comhairle is right that there is no other sensible way to approach this but to proceed carefully, judiciously and to pass the necessary amendments.
I know the Deputies are having a lot of craic, but hand in glove-----
