I do not want delay proceedings but, as has been noted, we are concerned that so many amendments have been tabled so late in the day. We also had hundreds of amendments on Committee Stage which came to us only two days beforehand. I accept we did have a briefing with the Minister's officials but I am concerned that if technical changes are being made at this late stage that something could be missed and, therefore, the Bill will have loopholes and there will be mistakes in it. I wish to note Sinn Féin's dissatisfaction at the way in which the Bill is being rushed through the House. I appreciate why it is being done but I wish to note that this is not the way to make legislation.
