I will read into the record that Standing Order 228 provides:

An amendment made by the Seanad to a Bill initiated in the Dáil may be accepted by the Dáil with or without amendment or be rejected. No amendment shall be moved to an amendment made by the Seanad that is not strictly relevant thereto, nor can any other amendment be moved to the Bill unless it be consequential upon the acceptance, amendment or rejection of a Seanad amendment.

There is a dilemma. We could speak about this for a long time but I would like the House to deal with as many of the amendments as possible. If the Minister of State wishes to comment on this, I would welcome that.
