I accepted the amendment tabled by the Deputy. I gave her that commitment. I found that the legal problems were too great and that the matter has to be addressed in a different way. I immediately responded to what the Deputy did and said that we would take her point on board. To say that I do not have the enthusiasm for tackling this issue is absurd. We now have legal complexities which will be resolved.
