If the Minister of State takes on board the thrust behind what we are trying to achieve, perhaps he will seek to ensure that the implementation of the ex-gratia scheme and related matters will be dealt with and that there will be some form of oversight in this regard. If he is not going to accept the amendment, perhaps he will indicate how the Houses will be notified in future, in a very timely manner, with regard to how the promises being made here are being delivered upon. If he clarifies the position in this regard, I may withdraw the amendment and - depending on whether we are satisfied with his response - decide whether to resubmit it on Report Stage.
