The Minister of State has still not given a reason this activity is not included. If the legislation was passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas and signed by the President, and Senators Buttimer, Norris, Bacik or myself tabled a similar amendment in six months, would he support that and, if not, why not? Nothing he said suggests he would not do so. He has not given us a reason of substance for not acceding to the amendments.
