I am reluctant to divide the House on this issue because of the Minister's comments. I disagree with elements of them but that is the nature of our discussion. I will withdraw my amendment and reserve the right to table it again on Report Stage. Both myself and my colleague in the other House, Deputy Ó Laoghaire, are keen to engage with officials and the Minister to tease out how we can insert some of the core and necessary elements of the amendment in the legislation ultimately. I am keen to engage with him on that basis. Given the sensitivity and importance of what the amendment seeks to do, I do not want to divide the House. In withdrawing the amendment, I wish to make to clear that I reserve the right to table it again. If there is not a satisfactory conclusion from the engagement with the Minister and his officials, I reserve the right to resubmit it on Report Stage.
