——in the one minute that remained in which to do so. The position is that section 7 addresses specifically the issue in question by adding offences to the list captured by the alternative verdicts legislation and other legislation. Notwithstanding Senator Norris's reservations that the Seanad has been short-changed, the fact that we can elucidate this point is very valuable. I appreciate that the amendment was tabled because it has enabled me to put on the record of the House the fact that the legislation does address this issue.
