I have listened carefully to the Minister's reply and it was certainly not my intention in putting down that amendment that we would make it more difficult for somebody to take action on this basis. The Minister referred to the test of "reasonableness" and I am not sure that I follow entirely the direction he is going, but my intention was to make sure that this measure would be beneficial. The migrant rights organisation is of the opinion that a provision such as this is necessary. I am disappointed the Minister is not accepting it. I will withdraw the amendment and will consider submitting it for Report Stage if the Minister is not able to change his mind between now and then.
