I welcome these amendments as well as the earlier amendment in respect of the timeframe - the month or four weeks. I acknowledge the work that has been done, particularly around the working in amendment No. 70. It is really significant and quite strong. It shows what can be done and achieved when there is not just consultation but, as Deputy Bacik has said, all the various discussions throughout the Stages. I support what Deputy Bacik has said about the mandatory information session. We are down to the one key sticking point now but it is very significant. Is there anything that could be done to address that before the conclusion of the legislation?
