The plan is still the same. There are quite a number of new Members present. All parties backed the legislation initially and then there was a slight hiccup on the next occasion, for some reason. Now we have a new Seanad that is more likely to consider the matter afresh. I will be available throughout the day. I ask for support on Second Stage, when we will go into more detail. I am willing to accept amendments from Members and to discuss them in due course in the new year. The Bill is worthwhile and I ask for the full support of my colleagues.
