I am glad to hear the Minister say he will still look at this issue. I understood him to say there was an ongoing process of consultation with stakeholders, including the architects' body and the Law Society. On that basis, I will not press the amendment at this point. It is a pity we could not have had the consultation before the Bill was returned to this House for Report Stage. Perhaps it was brought back a little too quickly. I accept, however, that the Minister will look at the matter again between now and when the Bill is debated in the Dáil. On that basis, I will not press the amendment, although this is an important principle for us.
