I appreciate, as far too often in his recent ministerial career, the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has been thrown in the deep end to handle legislation that he might not have been dealing with previously.

These are important amendments. If the Minister of State has a note, reading it into the record would be good. These are consequent to amendments that both I and Deputy Cian O'Callaghan had around building control-related matters where the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, undertook to bring forward his own amendments. Therefore, it would be remiss for the Minister of State not to make any comment before we approve them. They are not contentious but it is important to have it recorded in the Dáil record.
