I second the amendment. I will not take up much of the Minister's time. I know he is favourably disposed to the amendment but that he wants to put his own words on it. If all he is trying to do is put a Fine Gael stamp on the amendment, he should not waste his time, Let it go as it stands. As my colleague, Senator Boyhan, told him constantly, he should outline his thinking on it. We believe he is favourably disposed to these measures so he should throw it on the table, so to speak, and the officials will have to follow him.
