Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I wish to make the same point as Senator Norris. While I may not agree with the amendments — I compliment the Minister and the Minister of State on bringing forward this legislation in such detail following round the clock analytical observation of the process — I want to listen to the discussion on them. Although I probably would not agree with the last amendment tabled by Senator Cummins, nevertheless more than ever we need to revisit this matter and perhaps the joint Oireachtas committee is the place where we can tease out other aspects about which I certainly would have reservations. I did not have the opportunity to contribute on Second Stage and I still feel that there is much to be said. I welcome the decision to oblige a joint Oireachtas committee to tease out other related matters. Although I am grateful to the Minister and his staff for bringing the matter this far, and to the Supreme Court for the ruling torearrest Mr. A, there are other minor details that need to be thrashed out further.
