The note is with regard to the grouping so I will speak on amendment No. 4. I cannot accept it at this stage but I see there is merit in what Senator Higgins is saying. I will ask the Department to look at it and check with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to see whether it can be made in the Dáil amendments, in which case it would have to come back here. I see where the Senator is coming from and there is merit in what she is saying but I need to get it checked out.
