I would prefer not to delay the passage of the Bill. If it is the Minister's and the Leader's intention that Report Stage be taken today, I do not wish to delay that process, close as we are to the summer break. Being practical about it, I do not believe the amendments will ultimately be accepted. If they are going to be thrashed out and discussed, it will be today or never. I am not trying to put the Minister in an embarrassing position but if he cannot tell me that there is a mechanism where he can give me a commitment that these specific amendments will be debated in the Dáil, I will have to press them today.
