How green does Senator Boyle think this eye is? I will make one constructive suggestion and not continue with this matter. We must get ahead and have our vote. When the Minister of State has answered Senator Doherty's very reasonable questions and if it turns out that this material part of the Bill will not be given primary consideration in this House but left to the other House, I suggest the appropriate approach would be to go through the Bill to its conclusion of Committee Stage today, the next day or whenever but delay Report Stage, which will be gone through fairly rapidly, until this amendment is produced, at which point it can be discussed, as it should be, in this House. That is a compromise that allows the Minister of State to complete Committee Stage today and then introduce Report Stage. I imagine the period between when it is completed in this House and then goes to the Dáil will only be a matter or days. For the sake of a few days can we not have a complete Bill in this House if, as Senator Doherty has asked, this plan is to be an integral part of the Bill as passed by the Oireachtas?
