We are trying to achieve this together. In the Dáil three weeks ago, a Bill was tabled by three Deputies from the Anti-Austerity Alliance and the Government did not oppose the Bill because it accepted its spirit, despite the fact that a Bill was already working its way through the process. I hope Senators will accept my bona fides. We are trying to ensure we have full context to what we are doing and we understand that Senators need Government amendments to work on so that we can have a proper debate on Report Stage. That will be done.
