I concur with Senator Keane's comments. While I have the highest of respect for Senator Cullinane, he has misinterpreted the original statement within the Bill. He probably has honed in on something and perhaps has had a little bit of tunnel vision in this regard. Consequently, having heard the clear and eloquent explanation given by the Minister of State, I ask the Senator to withdraw this amendment. It is clear that what he has sought to have included by way of an amendment already is encompassed in the body of the Bill and with the greatest of respect, I ask Senator Cullinane to withdraw this amendment as it is unnecessary.
