We should deal with those issues in the confines of a Bill that is not the Civil Registration Bill. We are talking about issuing really important documents today. The complexity of the issues Senator Norris has brought up in amendments are legal, medical and family relationship complexities. They are not simple pieces of paper, although those pieces of paper are significant and make life-changing legalities. All the complexities of the legislation and the amendments Senator Norris has put forward have not been teased through by anyone. I am genuinely asking Senator Norris not to do this. Again, I will find myself having to vote against them, something I do not want to do. If they get passed, we will have to go back to the Dáil and I will have to try to remove them there. I would rather we put them in a Bill more pertinent to deal with them in a proper way.
