I wish to acknowledge that. The amendments being put forward from the Government side are to assist Deputy O'Callaghan in the matter of clarity and I suggest to the House that Deputy O'Callaghan will be familiar with any Government amendments proposed.

That is in the letter and spirit of what I would like to ensure is a common theme in the course of this debate.
