I echo the comments made by Senator Higgins in the first section around the rushed nature of this. I made the point during the Second Stage debate that the fact we are submitting amendments before the Dáil stage is completed is disrespectful, given the work that goes into the amendments. We probably would not have submitted these amendments if we had the benefit of seeing the Dáil stage completed. I know my colleague, Deputy Kerrane, has engaged with the Minister on amendment No. 2. She is satisfied that the Minister has given commitments in that regard. On that basis, we are happy to withdraw the amendment.
