I thank the Minister of State for his response. I will press the section but will not press it to a vote. All we can do on this one is wait and see how it works out in practice. If it is the case that Free Legal Aid Centres, FLAC, and the other organisations are right, then the Minister of State might be able to give a commitment to revisit the issue. We can give him fair wind on this. We will press the section but not press it to a vote. We have had discussions on this issue in the Dáil and during the debate on Second Stage in this House. The Minister of State is not inclined to accept my proposal. All we can do is wait and see how it works out in practice and to keep it under review.
