I thank the Members. I was only made aware fairly late in the day that this was an issue. I am no different from anybody else. I walk down Grafton Street and elsewhere and see the boxes for the daffodils and so on. I could easily and instantly recognise the issue. The problem was to try to address it in a way that still protected what we had in the sealed box. The whole idea of regulating charity was to enhance its operation, so it had to be dealt with in that regard. If nothing else, it indicates that the whole aim in the Bill is to try to protect and not diminish what is happening at present in terms of how the various charities operate. I am glad the amendment is being accepted.
