The Minister mentioned the word "clarity". Everything about the Bill is unclear. It is like asking an artist to paint a picture with a blindfold on. The amendments are all very confusing. The fact that amendment No. 122 is to delete an amendment the Minister made on Committee Stage adds credence to the argument that the farce should be stopped and the Bill suspended until a copy of the Bill with the Committee Stage amendments inserted is supplied in order to give us a better picture of what it looks likes. If the Bill is passed in this manner, it will be full of holes and contradictions and will lead to problems that will require further amendment, perhaps by the next Government. It is ridiculous that the Minister is continuing in this manner.
