This is a learning curve but I will allow the Bill to go through in order that it will not delay payment increases. Sinn Féin has tabled a motion on the gender gap, which will be debated in the Dáil tomorrow. We will learn a little more and I seek cross-party support, particularly from Fianna Fáil given Senator Ardagh has eloquently defended women and referred to the gender gap that has been in place over our lifetimes.
