It will not. Deputy Troy indicated that he was proud of his role in the facilitating the passing of this legislation, even though it is fundamentally flawed as it concerns the role of Fingal County Council, which is not independent as described in the regulations themselves.

We spent two hours before the recess trying to convince the Minister on these three amendments on health. We spent a long time on this aspect, and the Minister responded by saying that these things are included in the regulations themselves. There is some merit in that. However, in order for the Minister to carry the day here in terms of getting the amendments passed in the Seanad through this House he requires the further support of Fianna Fáil. Fianna Fáil did not indicate, in the two hours of debate on the last occasion, its position on these three amendments. Does it intend to facilitate the Minister again in passing this flawed legislation? I would like to hear from Fianna Fáil in terms of these three specific amendments.

We would save a lot of time today if Fianna Fáil indicates that it will support the legislation in the form it left this House before it went to the Seanad. The Minister spent a lot of time on the last occasion name-dropping Deputies Troy and Darragh O'Brien, outlining the help he got from them in passing this flawed legislation.
