I acknowledge there is a lacuna in terms of the appropriateness or suitability requirements for the non-legal chair, and I will be tabling an amendment to deal with that. I am open to giving consideration to any further improvements to section 12 that Senators may wish to put forward. We can come back to that in more detail on Committee Stage.

I want to acknowledge the positive disposition towards the Bill displayed by Senators Ruane and Black. I have even gleaned some positivity from the remarks of Senator Bacik.
