I am not suggesting this because I understand the time pressure with this Committee Stage. However, we are dealing with legislation and the Minister responsible for it is not here. Therefore, questions on it cannot be answered satisfactorily on the public record of the Dáil. It is not best practice to go into private session because then it is not on the record of the Dáil. However, if it facilitates the answers, and that is what I want at this point to inform me for Report Stage and others for the Stages in the Seanad, then so be it. Obviously, other Members here may have views on that as well.
