I cannot imagine how it would threaten the Bill in any way. We are trying to be constructive here. This is a good Bill. This is a Bill which we all want to support. I ask the Minister of State to consider the addition of one word. I cannot imagine why anyone would possibly object to it. We can then all be on the one page. We are raising this because the students' unions themselves have expressed real concerns to us. Would it not be a pity if this Bill were to be passed with students' unions in the relevant colleges objecting? We do not need to be in that space and we should not be. One simple word would go a long way towards fixing this. Again, I support Senator Gallagher's suggestion and ask the Minister of State and her colleagues to consider this point.
