Michael McCarthy (Labour)

I thank the Minister of State for his thoughtful reply. I appreciate that he will willing to give these proposals further consideration between now and Report Stage. I too shall probably have sleepless nights between now and then. I am sure that if the Minister of State does not, we would be more than happy to be enthusiastic about pushing similar amendments on Report Stage. I thank the Minister of State for his response. I will withdraw my party's amendments on the basis that the door is still half open.
