I appreciate what the Minister has said. I know when I am beaten and I accept that we will not get amendments through and this Bill will pass tonight. The Minister has given a commitment to at least be open. Senator Reilly lives in the constituency. We can arrange to have a meeting with DAA to try to find a way forward where we know that DAA will engage with residents in the area. Senator Reilly knows the area better than I do. I think there is a relatively small group that needs greater reassurance and engagement. If we can have that under the Minister's chairmanship, I think it is the best of a bad lot for me tonight. The best of a bad lot is better than nothing at all. I deeply regret that we find ourselves in the position that the House has put us in tonight, which is the Bill passing through all Stages in a short period. That is not the Minister's fault but ours.
