Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

I accept that and while I agree with the Minister up to a point, it strikes me that introducing what appears to be a technical, minor amendment, could have major implications. As I am not sure I fully understand the complex reply given by the Minister, I wish to tease out the amendment and get a second opinion before agreeing to it. This case provides a good illustration of the need for a gap between Committee Stage and Report Stage.
