Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

The Minister of State is being very polite in his rejection of all these amendments, including this one and presumably those that are yet to be discussed. He should, however, reflect on the suggestions from this side of the House. We support the Bill and are trying to be constructive. Some reflection on this and other amendments is warranted. I invite the Minster of State to consider this type of amendment which is designed very specifically to improve and strengthen the Bill. On the basis of that reflection the Minister of State could introduce amendments on Report Stage.
