I have set out my position on this. I do not want to see the House divided. From his response to us earlier, the Minister of State is willing to engage in compromise. If he is willing to compromise and take on board Deputy Howlin's suggestion, there is a mechanism whereby he could bring forward an amendment in the Seanad and we could deal with that amendment next week through amendments from the Seanad. The vehicle is there for the Minister of State if he is willing to do that and if he is prepared to indicate along those lines.
