I do not wish to speak any further to the amendment save to the correct the record of the Dáil. The new, watered-down amendments in 2021 were not made by the then Minister of State, Deputy Troy, as I previously said. As Minister of State, he did repeal the regulations by the then Minister, Deputy Bruton, but the new, watered-down regulations were, in fact, made by the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, in 2021. It is important to clarify that given Deputy Troy is not in the House. Other than that, I will press the amendment because I do not think there is any point in speaking further to it this evening.
