The only issue I raised in respect of this Bill was the element of retrospection and the situation of those who have sat, or are who are about to sit, the Irish examination for the qualification of barrister or solicitor. The Minister's amendment satisfies that request but will he clarify precisely how he sees it applying in practice? That might deal with the concerns of Senator Alex White. I appreciate the Minister has tabled an amendment which perhaps resolves the issue.
