I will not commit to any actions at this stage but I know that the residents would probably appreciate if that happened. It would have to be done in a calm and serious atmosphere with no theatricals. I would be happy to do that because I recognise that in this House and the other House, despite the theatre associated with these sorts of debates, there are people who are representing their constituents as they should be, which is fine. It is a geographical motivation and even a political one, which is perfectly honourable. There are others involved such as Senator Craughwell, though it does not seem to represent their constituency. Of course we could continue the conversation. I appreciate that Senators feel it has not got enough discussion in this House. That is a different matter and we might debate that a little later. To try to address some of the difficulties, as I said to Senator Reilly already, I would be happy to meet him and others to discuss this. That is a way forward. I do not know quite what I can do. I can certainly keep an eye on the DAA to see what it is up to and see that, once this Bill is passed, those who seem to be the losers or have difficulties created will not be ignored for evermore. I give that commitment to Members of this House.
