I agree with Senator McDowell. These are very significant amendments. Amendment No. 7 in particular is very different from, and of a different order to, the others. It is far more substantial. It seeks to insert four new paragraphs into page 8 of the Bill. I have already referred to this amendment a number of times in my speeches on earlier amendments. It certainly should not be grouped together with a whole group of much less significant amendments. In addition, amendment No. 9 relates to a very specific issue regarding An Garda Síochána. I will wait for the Chair.
