We are here to make sure that the legislation passed by this House delivers on what it is supposed to deliver. This legislation should deliver on the recommendations of the Quirke report to the satisfaction of the victims but there is major confusion this morning. There seems to be a contradiction between what the Minister is saying and what the advocate groups are saying to us and, based on that, we put down our amendments. I am trying to be helpful. The Order of Business is agreed but the Leader should be contacted on this matter. We might seek to withdraw the amendments and table similar amendments on Report Stage if we believe that the issues we are raising have not been addressed properly.
