Like Senator Michael McDowell, I do not believe there is any reason to oppose the amendments. There are, however, some inconsistencies later in the language used in different sections.I am looking at section 19, in particular. I will make the point when we come to that section. It is a technical point about a Bill, of which many of us have been highly critical for being internally inconsistent. We have had a long debate on the issue. I will raise certain issues related to drafting later, but I do not have an issue with amendments Nos. 54 to 56, inclusive, which generally are tidying up amendments.
