I understand the points the Senator makes. They appear to be valid suggestions. He makes the point that submission of the data would be on voluntary basis and the Bill should be strengthened in that regard. As I outlined, the Bill is on Second Stage in the Dáil and there is still ample opportunity for the Houses to deal with some of that detail, in particular on Committee Stage. The submissions which have been made can be reviewed. In that context, amendments can certainly be made to the legislation if the Houses so approve.
